Day #1

Today I drove over to Chillicothe in 3 hours and 20 minutes. When I arrived I met some of the players and coaching staff and mingled for awhile. Later I got my locker and uniform #23. We then went on the field for a short practice just to go over some things. We threw bullpens and went through some defensive work. After practice they gave us Papa Johns and went over some general information about the summer and the host families. My family this summer is Don, Donna, and Kellcie Snyder. They live about 15 minutes away from the ballpark in a comfortable house in the country. I have my own room with a bed, dresser, tv, and a chair. Nothing fancy but it will be perfect for the summer. The Snyders are a very friendly family and have been very accommodating so far. Tomorrow we leave the stadium at 10:30 for our first game in Butler, PA.
