Home Run

In about 2003, Jacob played T-Ball with my daughter Erin. I remember him at the plate with the world's BIGGEST SMILE - all the way from ear to ear. After he hit the ball he would do everything in his power to motor around the basepaths with braces on his legs. Evan at that young age, I think some of the kids on the other team saw his absolute glory in playing ball, and somehow never got him out. HOME RUN! He brought more joy to me (the coach) and everyone else at that field than anyone can imagine. My kids are almost all grown now, and I'm done coaching. Looking back over all the kids and combinations I've coached over the 15 years, Jacob stands out. Perfect in Attitude Perfect in Effort and Perfect in the Joy of Playing the Game. I never coached another kid like him.
