March 31

Given that we're in a perpetual drought here in California, it feels weird to say it, but I'm so thankful that it didn't rain today. And that there's no rain in the immediate forecast. 

And part of that gratitude is rooted in the truth that these guys get to play ball when the skies are clear.

Brady didn't have a game tonight and since Spring Break is officially here, won't for at least another week. But Isaac and the Freshman Dons played this afternoon and scored a home win. 

Isaac is still rehabbing his shoulder so he can't swing the bat, but he started at and got a few innings in right field, which is one of his preferred positions. I know it bums him out to not be able to hit --he even said so as we walked to the car after the game-- but I'm proud of him for continuing to show up and contribute however he can. 

I know it's not easy to take when you're a teen who just wants to play, but I'm grateful for that patient perseverance.
