There he is folks. The rookie has been called up from the diaper league. For the past four years he has been groomed as a devastating secret weapon, both in the field and at the plate.
No father ever felt as much pride and excitement as I did this afternoon when Daegan took the field for his first T-ball practice. His own excitement kept me riveted to him. He was dancing around and anxious and didn't have a clue as to what to do.
I was proud of the way he went after the ball. I saw one of the greatest sights anyone could behold, the joy on his face when he clobbered the ball.
I look forward to watching him in the coming years develope the skills and aquiring the patience, fortitude, and finesce that comes from dedication to one's self and his team-mates. The All-American sport of baseball will benifit greatly from the aquisition of one of the soon to be all time greats...Daegan Wiiliam Dale Hood.
So grab a dog,coke, and a bag of popcorn and head out to the park and see this phenominon. Don't be ashamed to ask for an autograph. It will be worth a lot in the future. I've got mine.
So here's to you my hero of the hardwood, you've already knocked one out of the park with me!!!! I love you, son. I am very proud of you. Play hard, but most of all have FUN! Daddy (:
