For Valentine's Day this year, my Mom and Dad were sending me cryptic poems about some mystery gift they got me. An example:
"Roses are red
Violets are blue
It has something to do with Apples
and that is your first clue!
Love, Mom & Dad"
I received 3 such clues. I told Mother I was not going to dress up in matching outfits and go to Johnny Appleseed Festival again. I had been asking a few questions and knew the words "toss" and "pitch" were key to unlocking the surprise. When I returned home from Colorado, Ft. Wayne's minor league baseball team, the TinCaps, schedule was in my mailbox. Now I knew and immediately called home to confirm.
My parents rock! I called today to schedule. July 8th is my baseball debut! Never played this sport before, so why not try it first in front of thousands of strangers?! If you are around the Ft. Wayne area that day, let me know and stop on by!
