Had a great time playing with the Oak Forest Blue Demons this summer. Saw a lot of great arms and got challenged a lot this summer and finished hitting .438 through 22 games.

I hit my first home run of the year yesterday over the scoreboard. I also added a double and 2 walks. Feeling very good at the plate to start the year.

To say I am a proud dad is an understatement but not just because of his skill and determination but because of the great man he is growing into. Love you son
