The Final Chapter...

This week was very special to me due to some visitors from the beautiful aloha state of Hawaii. Last year I played in Hawaii, as most of you know, and while I was there I met a very nice family. Throughout the rest of the off season and through the 2007 season in Frederick we kept in touch and they even sent me cookies and coffee and all kinds of goodies. When they found out that I was playing here in Arizona they planned a trip to come out and watch me play. It was so nice to have my biggest fan Evan (above)  here to see me. It had been a tough week and it was such a nice breath of fresh air to see them and to spend some time with them. Evan writes me letters and texts me once a week to let me know how he is doing in school and baseball. They have really made me feel like family and hopefully one day ill be able to introduce them to my family back home.

As for my experience in the Fall League I do not think it could have gone much better. I have worked very hard and have refined some of my skills which has led me to have a successful fall. I have gotten to go head to head with some of the best players and have held my own. It was good for me to see that I can play out here and make progress in all aspects of my game.

Well thanks to my buddy Chris Hayes I do not believe I will be winning the "blogger of the year" award! However I hope that I have done a fare job at giving you some in site into who I am and what im all about. I have enjoyed this experience more than I thought I ever would. When I found out I was chosen to do this I was a little nervous about how it would go. But with the help of all of you out there across the country it was a lot of fun.This is my last official blog and I hope that everyone has a wonderful holiday season. Thanks again!!!
