Subject: Scout Tells Joel He Is Major League Baseball Material,5-8-2010

It's every little boys' dream to play baseball, and someday maybe play on a real Major League Baseball Team.

On Sat., 5-8-2010, I was playing on my high school varsity baseball team in a Wooden Bat Tournament at our high school, which we won Game 1 by score of 6-2 and saw me, Joel, hit one homerun for my team, and the win advanced our team to play in the championship title game, which we won by a score of 15-4 and saw me, Joel, hit one homerun in the contest to help our team win the Wooden Bat Championship Title for 2010!

Attending and watching me play in both games, besides watching all players in all games of the day, was a real major league baseball scout.

He came to especially watch me play I was told after the games to see if I might become a major league baseball player someday for either his team he scouted for or any team interested in me to play for them, because of my homerun hitting I was averaging almost one per game, since I started playing high school baseball (this is my senior year, second year on varsity, and now age l8yrs. old and was good at hitting homeruns on lower grades teams and in little league) and play first base.

I was told by the scout that he had watched me play in another game I played this year but, didn't announce and make his presence known at that high school game like he did attending the wooden bat tournament.

I was told by the scout that "because of my baseball talents, attitude and hard work I had done to get where I was, that I had the talent to become a major league baseball player for any team interested in signing me."

Don't think I wasn't overjoyed when I heard that news, and wasn't on Cloud 9!

For the moment the team he was scouting for had a full roster of ball players in their major league team and no openings in their minor league teams.

He asked me if I was going to be playing college baseball, after I graduated this year 2010 and I told him: "Yes, I had been given a scholarship to help pay for most of it!"

The Scout adviced me to play college baseball, as many years I was allowed, and if doing that time his team or any team had a opening and I was interested that I should see what the offer is and if I like it then, persue my quest/dream to become a major league baseball player.

My high school coaches were thrilled at the news and of course my parents were. Everyone's encouragement for me to play baseball since I was a little kid has paid off. It was a thrill for me to have both sets of my grandparents at the tourney and hear the news as well.

One of my time teammates Luke, had a comment he made to me, after "congratulating" me, away from the hearing distance of the scout.

He told me that besides asking for a large sum of money for my playing ability to hit homeruns and to play first base for the team that I, "should have asked the scout if his team has been drawing good attendance this season, especially attracting the ladies to come to the games."

I asked Luke, "why?"

He told me, "Joel, you know you got the little butt that ladies love to see wearing a pair of baseball pants, and when you become a major league player the women will naturally flock to the ballpark to see you and make the team you are playing for alot of money!"

Geez!

I think I better have a little talk with Luke.

At least the scout doesn't know I've had some high school girls through the years make similar comments about how I look and fill out wearing a high school uniform.

I wonder what it will be like, wearing a majoe league baseball uniform?
