Awesome!!'
Exciting!
Great news!
Preston was tearing it up at the AAA level and has flat-out earned this promotion on the merits. I am thrilled for Preston and of course especially for his mother. She is one of our all-time greatest members here at the hsbbweb!
Congratulations! Good luck tonight. Get in there and shut em down!
They couldn't keep him down any longer!
Congratulations, great news to hear. Hard work + perseverance = Making it all the way back!
Congratulations!
Congrats!
TPM, not enough words to express my gratitude to you & all others. It's been a challenge.
This game can take our guys to heights they only dreamed of achieving...and to depths of "just get the H*** out of here", to many places along the spectrum. It is TRULY a roller coaster ride. Sometimes they just have to dig a little deeper into that place of "heart desire", sometimes they have to fight "second guessing" themselves, sometimes they test their own values/sense of self/purpose, sometimes they push through "perceived" obstacles, sometimes they learn a new level of patience, sometimes they have to just TRUST...sometimes let go! Sometimes HOLD ON TIGHT! Sometimes remember it's a game...a fun game, a really fun game that gives them joy & friends for life, & skills & so much more.
Clear the mechanism & carry on, know themselves, what they are capable of, what to focus on, who to trust & why, rely on what got them to whatever level they are. BE their BEST, DO their BEST. Mostly, to have no regrets.
Heartfelt Thanks to all!

No problem here. We have a history, so sometimes I feel like these kids are my own. He has had an unusual journey few know about, and I am so sorry his dad is not here to see it happen again after a long struggle, but he is probably got a seat right behind the backstop.
Now you can start a new ball collection! 
Yes, Ma'am! That's the plan!! and new locker plate!
Congrats.
Great news, Baseballmom!
Congrats!
Dear BaseballMom - I have a special request. If possible, please post a picture of you and Preston at the next MLB game that you are able to attend. Thanks.
