Default Proud dad--my son got to throw out the first pitch!

Last night, my family and I went to a Lake Elsinore Storm (Padres affiliate) Minor League Baseball game. My Taekwondo school has an outing there every year. Last year was super fun, so we were looking forward to this year's too. What was even more cool--was that my 12 year old son Dylan won a contest, so he got to throw out the first pitch at the game!! We made it a surprise and didn't tell him until it was time to report at the announcer's booth.

I missed him actually pitching it because of where they had me stand, so I got set up an took a pic of the player catching it instead. Oh well. I'm a little mad at myself and where they put me, that made it so I couldn't get the shot, but what are you gonna do?? The pink jersey the player is wearing is because it was Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Awareness Night/Fundraiser.

On the field, waiting for the big moment. He's a little nervous--wouldn't you be!!?? The other kids were out there to run out onto the field with the players:



The catch:


Checking out the players' signature on the ball:



It was just a minor league game, but he was pretty stoked, as was I. Thanks for allowing me the indulgence of posting it up here.

I told him above everything else, to make sure he threw it accurately. I didn't want him to float it, but I warned him against really letting it go and throwing a wild one. He said OK and actually put a little heat on it.

He did great and I saw the look of relief on his face when he threw it right to the player.
