Parental Pride




Out of the gate I think I have the 3 greatest kids there are. If you are a parent I hope you feel that way about your kids.

Each one is unique and I love them uniquely.

This week Zakariah is in Puerto Rico playing for a select baseball team Coast to Coast Stars.

I'll just bullet point my pride.

*It appears he was invited to the Coast to Coast Tryouts by a college scout.
*The teams are gathered from across the nation. He has guys from TX, IA, MD etc playing with him.
*2/3rd of those invited to tryout gets cut.
*He was the starting pitcher of the first game. He pitched 2 innings. I believe he got his bell rang pretty good! But there are at least 6 more game left.
*He played short for half a game (to get all the players time each player plays approx 1/2 the game.
*He went 1 for 2 plus a walk. He singled, whiffed and walked. He scored twice.

If you want to avoid the chest puffing report of Z's P.R. baseball you might want to avoid this blog for a few days. Otherwise, reports and pics as I get them.
