It's not Baseball, but it'll do!! & Homerun Derby!!!

Matt is playing softball with a group of guys from school. I finally got to see him in action. He is playing Right Field and doing a great job (of course)!! They won their game tonight 9-6.

So, if you are a baseball fan, you know that tonight is the Homerun Derby at the All-Star Game in NYC. Go Josh Hamilton!!!!! Can you believe he hit 28 homeruns in the FIRST ROUND!!! He sent one over the WALL--out of the park!!! Over 520 feet!!! Amazing. If you don't know Josh's story, it is very inspiring. He was picked in the 1st round, got out of baseball for 3 years because of a drug and alcohol addiction. He cleaned up, and got back in baseball, was traded to Texas and is now in the running for the American League MVP!!! He chose his 71 year-old pitching coach from when we was a little boy playing in the American Legion to pitch to him. This man, threw 56 pitches!! Go Josh! Go Texas Rangers!! Go American League!!!

Toodles,
