I know what your thinking that can't be PD in a Tigers uniform! But yes unfortunately it is! As I said below we finished D5 fall ball on Tuesday night. Well, a friend of ours who Allen used to coach with has been calling for a while wanting PD to come play with a team his son is playing with. We have put it off and said no for a few months. But on Thursday he called again and said in their league they have 3 more weeks of fall ball and really need another player. We still weren't sure but we decided to go watch them play on Thursday and see what the coach was like and the atmosphere. Well.. when we pulled up the coach meet us and said can he play tonight? We were like well he has on shorts and tennis shoes not your normal baseball attire! But the coach and our friend said we can come up with a uniform. PD begged us to let him play so... some how they came up with a jersey, hat and pants for him to wear. We were extremely nervous because this team has beaten everyone in that league and they are very good. The first and second inning PD played in the outfield and really saw no action.In the second inning he batted and walked. After that they put him in to pitch ! Allen and I couldn't believe it and we were very nervous! But he was great and struck out all 3 batters! We were so excited. Then when he came up to bat he hit a home run! I could not believe that 1. We had NO camera! 2. No one was there but us to see it! Needless to say after the game the coach said I want him! We have decided to let him finish the fall ball season with this team and one tournament in October. This team is a travel ball team which means we would have to pay for him to join but it does have advantages. They have a pitching coach that normally works at a place that charges for lessons and we can use that facilities batting cages too. Plus the team gets matching bat bags and helmets. Not to mention they play great teams and it really would help to improve his game! On the way home he said it can be my Christmas present! So we are going to ride this out and see what happens. I thought some of you might enjoy seeing him in his uniform which by the way he had on today when I got home and said it was the best day of his life! Trust me Allen is thinking long and hard about whether we can allow him to wear this color! By the way notice the garnet sticking out of the sleeve that is his Gamecock shirt! So he is still garnet in his heart!
