Man the weekends almost over! I can’t believe how fast it went. Yesterday was a cold one, and I don’t mean like a beer. It started out with me going to the gym and then doing some work in the morning and then it was time for Jagger’s baseball clinic. Sports Authority put on two clinics, one in Miami and one in Denver. I signed Jag up for it while he was at camp as it was free, first come first serve, and was put on by a bunch of former professional baseball players and pro scouts. He was reluctant to go at first as he was still jet lagged from camp. (turns out this was common among all the kids that went to camp!) Ty came along as Lori went to get her hair done. We arrived and it felt like 15 degrees with intermintint snow showers (I sound like a weatherman). They were supposed to have 110 kids but only 42 showed up, 5 from our team.
This was great as that meant their was a better coach/player ratio and each boy had much more individual attention. There were 5 stations from pitching to hitting to fielding and more. Jag was great, always running first ahead of everyone when told to and listened well and soaked it all in. A former Chicago White Sox pitcher singled him out saying he’s got some ability even though he doesn’t yet know how to pitch. He told me that 95% of baseball can be learned but the other 5% is a gift from God meaning size, talent, drive, etc. He said he thinks Jag has the other 5%!
Anyhow at the end all the kids had a great time. Jag went up and shook each of the 13 coaches hands and thanked them personally, something we taught both boys years ago. We made it home a bit after 5pm and Mom was shortly behind us. We had some dinner, watched some tv and that was it. Today I’m not sure what’s going on, you’ll have to come back tomorrow to find out!
God Bless.
