Tuesday evening Richard & I took the kids downtown to Petco Park to see a Padre game. We were uncharacteristically early. Jack had just finished rolling down the hill at the park-in-the-park when we were approached by two members of the Pad-Squad. They asked Jack if he would like to be the "play ball" kid. He's an outgoing boy so I was not surprised he said sure. We chatted for a bit then they asked Jack how old he was. The fear shone in their eyes when he said 4. Jack is a good size kid. They must have thought he was around six. Reluctantly, they decided to go with him. So Richard & Jack disappeared into the crowd with the Pad-squad. Isabelle & I got ice cream. About a half hour later, Jack reappeared on the big screen!! I was so excited. Take a look...he nailed it!
sorry about the lame music. You-tube has become quite strict regarding copy rite infringement. I thought this would be better than nothing, maybe I was wrong.
That is the cutest "play ball" I've ever heard! That was a lot of pressure on the little guy (hands out of pocket, smile, etc)and he handled it really well. Thanks for sharing it!
ReplyDeleteThey coached him for about 20 minutes, Richard said they were all pretty nervous. Love that kid.
