So I got to do a very cool thing yesterday. The Lakewood Blueclaws, the Phillies Class "A" Minor League team, held a special batting practice for invited guests. Basically, this means that I got to take a few swings on the field from a Blueclaws employee. As a huge baseball fan, it was very cool to actually hit some baseballs on the field in a professional stadium (yes, I actually HIT a few of them!). It may not have been a 45,000 seat mega-stadium, but still, it was the same diamond that future big league stars are playing every day. It was a lot of fun, and just one of the reasons I love this job! Photos in the pictures section. |
