Life as a Lefties Mom

  And so it begins again.  Roxi who used to manage the housing for the team, sold their home in PA, bought an RV and hit the road.  The poor new girl managing the housing was overwhelmed and didn't let us know until the last second who was coming and from where.  We have 3 guys, all from Cal State San Bernardino.  Andreas is a pitcher (really good), Derek is an outfielder and initially the lead off batter, and Riley plays shortstop or 3rd base and initially batted clean up.  They are really nice guys, all over 21.  They don't need a mom like last year's boys did so it has been a little hard to warm up to them.  They like to go fishing in their off time and probably go to the local bars.

Second up was Jack playing for UCLA at Cal Berkley.  The biggest news is that he has gotten his hair cut!  Those gorgeous flowing locks! The stadium is classic and it was a full crowd...
