Sammy and I kicked off the 2010 season by going to the d-backs fan fest. This is the 3rd straight year we have attended. This year Sammy's cousins, Emmett and Daniel joined us. The kids had a great time, checking out the clubhouse, playing on the jumping castles and getting autographs from the players. The highlight of the day was getting to meet Luis Gonzalez and of course getting to spend some one on one time with my boy Sammy. He was a trooper, woke me up at 5:45am ready to go to the ballpark, he waited in all the long autograph lines with me, played hard with his cousins and by the end of the day he was completely worn out!! Sammy entertained my with his sign language, spanish and saying hello to everyone while we waited in the lines!! Emmett did a great job doing play by play auditioning for kidcasters, calling a Justin Upton homerun! Funny story, especially to anyone who knows me well, a friend bought Sammy a soda which was a Pepsi and Sammy said to him "it's not as good as a Coke but thanks for getting it for me", thats my boy, he knows the good stuff!!
Spring training starts in a few days and we are both excited to hit the fields! Sammy's is counting down to Friday when pitchers and catchers report and we can catch a practice.
