Vote for my nephews baseball team!!!

Pretty please Angel   An amazing group of kids who work so hard and deserve it!  Town N Country is not a super fancy wealthy place, but I love it and these kids represent and make us so proud.  They need to look the part!

Re: Vote for my nephews baseball team!!!

  • Hey who is your nephew?  I am a teacher at AHS and I have had several baseball players in my classes the past few years.  I actually voted yesterday so I can't vote again but thanks for posting this, we could win.  Do you go to the games?  I go every now and then to support my students.  One of my students, Jose, is like the #1 player in the nation and is going to go straight to pro baseball!
  • Shawna, when my sister told me Jose's story I cried!  Actually every time I think of him my eyes well up a little.  I'm getting to be such a sap in my old age!  But some of these kids make me so damn proud! 

    I didn't know you teach at Alonso, that's great!  My nephew is a freshman, Wyatt Reid.  One of my all time fav people in the world.

    Warning... AW... 

    http://www.sungazette.com/page/content.detail/id/514451/Something-Special.html  I have this newspaper article that I still need to get framed.  It's from when he was 12 and in the Little League World Series in Williamsport PA.

  • I go to every game I can.  Unfortunately the hospitality business interferes a little on the weekends, but I get to most Friday night and weeknight games.  I've been watching him play since he was 5 so it's really fun to finally have really exciting games under lights with packed stands and not just the crazy parents :)

  • How cool!  I don't know your nephew but maybe one day I will have him as a student.  I don't go to games on weekends either, I actually work for a wedding planning company as well so my weekends are pretty busy.  When I do get to a game it's usually on a weeknight when I'm still at school and just walk over to the field for a bit.

    Yes, Jose does have a special story and he's a good kid.  I had him last year for ESOL and helped teach him to speak english so I'm pretty proud of him and to see him be successful.  He's also a good representative for the other kids who went through the struggles of coming here from Cuba and kind of getting their story out there.
