"Do you want one like the players are going to have today?"
"Yes"
|
|
|
"We'll get you this baseball too and have all the players sign this for
you a little later on."
|
|
A team hat, a signed baseball - what could be better for any baseball fan?
|
|
|
"What's up James, don't be shy."
|
|
"This is Keoni, he's on of our shortstops. He's a shortstop and an
outfielder. Alberto Concepcion is our catcher. Phil Seibel is one of our pitchers."
|
|
|
How about stepping into the batting cage with a few sea dogs players. James was ready to bring home a few pointers.
|
|
"Bring your hands up a little bit, down a little bit, right there.
You're squeezing the bat, relax."
|
|
|
"Try to see yourself make contact."
|
|
James is fourteen years old and like many teenagers he can get a little shy and while he is usually a young man of few words he opened up a little while hitting and catching.
|
|
|
He puts baseball at the top of his list of favorites, especially on this day. He's looking for a family to take him fishing, hunting and to the occasional red sox or sea dogs game.
|
|
Most of all James is looking to be just one of the guys and part of a
family, a family to share an amazing day with..
|
|
|
"I'd tell them it's pretty cool, I'm a pretty good hitter."
