Written by gary clements, on 23-07-2007 14:41 On this day of sadness for the players and all associated, there is still happiness.We are mighty proud of our son and his pitch in front of a soldout stadium. Austin is a Webelo scout. One of the den leaders works for CWArkansas, the new tv station and also one of the sponsors for Saturday night\\\'s game. Apparently, sponsors get to choose who throws in the first pitch. CWArkansas offered the first pitch to his scout pack. Austin was selected by a random drawing from those scouts who RSVP\\\'d. He found out Friday morning. He was so tense, I mean I would have been if I were him. Actually, I was tense anyway. We practiced pitching the ball over and over and over. He looked so stunning in his scout uniform. It certainly was his \\\"day\\\". So Scott, it sounds like you need to enroll your daughter in the girl scouts. Thanks for the mention in this blog (by the way, this is the second time I have read your blog; but was alerted to this article). Keep up the good \\\"family oriented\\\" journalism. |
