I’m excited for the kid. He has a chance to get an intership with MLB.com, the website for Major League Baseball. To say Jeff loves baseball would be a disservice to the word "love." I don’t know anyone who loves the game more and he absolutely will find a way to be involved with it for a living.
At least I hope so.
We have a typical father-son relationship in some ways. Communication, sometimes, can be strained. We have both disappointed one another over the years, to some degree. I know I had the same kind of relationship with my father, who was one of the most gentle, caring and warm people I ever knew. I’m not sure I’m gentle or warm, but I am caring. And I have always been proud of Jeff, more than he realizes.
I’m ready for him to take that plunge into this thing we call "real life." I’m eager to see how he does. Something tells me he’ll be just fine.
