Grandpa Dave's Baseball Enthusiasm

If you know my father well, then you know that he loves baseball. It doesn't matter how good or bad the Cincinnati Reds are during the season . . . he will watch or listen to every single game. He loved baseball as a kid and had hopes and dreams of one day being a professional baseball player. Well, like most little boys with a dream of being a professional athlete, his career didn't turn out the way he thought it would. Instead of playing baseball, my dad is a very accomplished and successful medical malpractice defense attorney, a wonderful and supportive father and best of all . . . GAVIN'S GRANDPA! Grandpa Dave loved every minute he could spend with Gavin. On more than one occasion while we were at PCMC Grandpa Dave would just appear at the hospital! He would wake up in the morning and decide to catch a flight from Las Vegas to Salt Lake City to spend some quality grandpa-time with Gavy. Often Grandpa Dave would run ahead of the rest of us as we walked through the hospital so he could be first in line to see Gavin. So, what does a loving grandfather do with his grandson this time of year? Baseball spring training - of course! Last week Grandpa Dave went on a mission to find a little baseball glove to leave with Gavin. So now, Gavin has a cute little baseball mitt and baseball by him. Gavin is such a lucky boy!

Scott's dad was happened to be in Louisville just after we lost our little guy and brought back a little tiny Louisville Slugger baseball bat for him. Someday these two little boys are going to have quite the game to play with their grandpas!!
