Random Thoughts Part 1

With less than 3 weeks to go ‘til camp here are some random thoughts about this whole experience.

Last night at the Gametime workout fellow rookie Donnie Glass said that Saturday at GABP got him pretty psyched about the camp. I couldn’t agree more……

I’ve always looked forward to my vacations. Anticipation is half the fun as they say. Karen and my  trip to Maui for our honeymoon comes to mind. The first time we took our girls to Disneyworld was a great experience.  I distinctly remember as we walked in the Magic Kingdom and walking towards Main St. and seeing their faces as they saw Cinderella’s Castle for the first time. I will never forget that. 

But this Camp thing is something else. Part of me still can’t believe I’m going to do this. I guess this anticipation is much greater because I’ve been preparing for it for months. I’ve never worked out for a trip before.

It’s been great to meet some of my fellow rookie and veteran camp mates at these workouts.

As my man Satch Coletta said “The more camps I attend, it’s more about the friendships than baseball”.

I can see what me means. I’ve met a bunch of nice folks. I’m certain they will be my friends a long time.

Now with that said, the baseball is very important to me.  I haven’t played organized baseball since I was 13 years old. All my many years of softball do not count.  I know I won’t be the best out there. I know I won’t be the worst. I do know I will have a blast.  More to follow………

I just heard about Keith Adkins, I didn’t know him personally, but my thoughts and prayers are with his family.
