Dear Luke,
An All-Star in Little League, Luke was amazing. Drifting into the game like another day in the park, he took the mound against the 6 best on the other All-Star team. As a pitcher, he only was allowed to pitch 2 innings. Luke made the best of those innings against those 6 best of the other team. Batter 1 up to the plate; the look in Luke's eyes from 45 feet from the plate was directly on the catchers mit. First pitch, strike one; second pitch strike two; batter steps out to get sign; next pitch strike three; batters out. Now there were 5 more batters to come to face Luke each battled at the plate. At the end of that 2nd inning of pitching the scores book showed K K K K K K.
Wow! You rarely see that in little league. Normally, you see this kind of stuff in the Majors. It was that moment when Luke knew he had the stuff. What a memory for all those watching that game.
Love ya, Dad
