While we were busy with plays and First Holy Communions here at home, our oldest son had an amazing experience in Cooperstown, NY. A local rival team invited the Stevens varsity baseball team to play a game at the Hall of Fame field in Cooperstown! Stevens won 6-1. They had a great time touring the Hall of Fame, also.One poignant moment Isaac described to me was when he saw his coach's father, Ralph Silva, standing before the Carlton Fisk display. Ralph coached "Pudge" Fisk in high school in Charlestown, NH. I can only imagine the feelings he was experiencing looking at the Hall of Fame display of a "kid" he coached in high school. I'm sure it wasn't the first time he saw it, of course. He was probably there for the induction ceremony. But still, what a moment, and what a picture that would've been (if Isaac had thought to take one, that is!)
Isaac is having a great baseball season. His bat is on fire and he has hit 3 homeruns so far. All of which I have missed! I'm trying not to take it personally. I did get to see him hit a triple the other day, though. Baseball has always been his favorite, and I am glad he is finishing his high school years with a great baseball season, and this unforgettable experience.
Isaac is the 3rd from the right in the front row, kneeling, in the picture above. He's the blond #10.
