But now he’s reached the Majors division of Little League, in which it gets a bit more serious. The kids show up, and they have skills. On Saturday, my nephew’s new team, coached by my brother, had a game against a team coached by former USC/NFL quarterback Matt Leinart.
Here’s my brother with Matt. He’s a very cool guy who was very nice to Ricky, and his son is a bruiser of an 11-year-old who was just offered a football scholarship to play at Florida Atlantic University in seven years.
Meanwhile, I have the great joy of busting my nephew’s tiny balls in front of his teammates once again. Like: “Do you guys know I changed a lot of Jackson’s diapers… last week?”
I officially have a new Saturday afternoon repeating event in my Calendar app.
