Went to the park today at 7:30. Me and another guy headed to the bullpens and prepped them and cleaned the bathrooms in them. You can spend a lot of time out there and really make them look good, and thats what we did. By the time we were done with that we did a little work on the infield and then cleaned up out back until lunch time. After lunch we sort of piddled some more before setting up for batting practice. Tonight we had the Cape Cod League All Star Game at Fenway Park. The league is considered to be the top college summer league in the nation and recruits some of the best ballplayers. Lucky for me, there WAS 1 Missouri State player there tonight. Aaron Meade, a pitcher, made the All Star team. They had a Hr Derby before the game which was kind of fun and then played. It rained all through the home run derby and up until the bottom of the 5th, when we were instructed to pull the tarp out. The delay only lasted about 10 minutes before they called it off completely. We'll go in tomorrow and get the field in tip top shape before the Sox play tomorrow night. As for now, the weather looks clear (cloudy) after 10am and hopefully will stay that way through the weekend. I get to spend my birthday at Fenway Park! How awesome, right? Yea, I'll be working, but will still be counting my blessings tomorrow, as not too many 22 year olds get to spend their 22nd birthday working for a professional ball team. :)
With that being said, and I've said before, I couldn't do it with out Christ. He's lead me here and I've trusted him all summer that he's had me here for a reason! Its been great thus far! And to you, my family and friends, without your encouragement on a daily bases I would NEVER be where I am today. To think you care so much about my life and career path gives me chills. So awesome! So thanks :D
As I write you this blog, I am enjoying some homemade sugar cookies with red icing from my mother, and chocolate chip too. I'll share them with the crew members tomorrow, I'm sure they'll love it.
Just a few shout outs, as a few of you were early--so you get a shout out. :)
