Even though the games are monotonous and long at times, it has been a lot of fun watching Vlad Guerrero play in the games. He has hit a couple of bombs that were unbelievable. He even made a play in left field that you couldn't help but laugh at. He misplayed a routine ground ball right at him and it rolled all the way to the fence. He then jogged after it as if he knew the runner was going to try to stretch it into a triple. Vlad picked up the ball, no crow hop and heaved it on a straight line to the third baseman, hitting him in the chest. The third baseman was waiting for the runner just smiling.
I have also seen Jim Thome play in a couple of games for the Phillies. I'm not sure what he is rehabbing, but he looks fine to me! He has roped a few double to the right center gap. Along with Jim Thome, when we were at the Phillies complex playing, I got to watch Ryan Howard take batting practice. All I can say is WOW...the dude is way bigger than any human should be. He has arms of an NFL linebacker and is as tall as a lineman. He has a big league body...go figure...hopefully I'll get to face him here soon!
This past week, I also had the worst outing I have had this spring. It's like I forgot where the strike zone was and when I did find the strike zone, they slapped it into right field. The only way to look at it is to not look at it at all...move on and get it done next time! The following day, I went back to work and got back on track.
I want to congratulate Wyoming High School on what they accomplished this season. My little brother Max, was on the team and I'm glad he was able to go out strong. I want to put into perspective how good of a season he had because I know he won't be given credit for it due to being at a small school...how many kids in the state of Ohio hit over .500? AND it's the second season in a row he has done so! This season he also lead his team to the Regional Final! On top of that, he is either number one or two ALL TIME in career hits at Wyoming. The kid deserves so much more respect than what he is given. Max will now take his talents to Furman University. An interesting fact...the last three times Wyoming has gotten to the district finals, in the State Tournament, a Kadish has been pitching.
Hopefully you all have a good upcoming week and have a good Memorial Day! Remember what Memorial Day is all about...Words cannot express the gratitude we owe to the ones that have sacrificed their lives for this country.
Peace Homies!
