A visit from a future Baseball Star (and his dad)




Yesterday Josh Scheffert and his Dad Skip (Peggy's Brother) left us to go back to Lincoln. He was at the White Sox camp being held in Indianapolis. There were 700 American League Scouts there and 200 candidates. Most were High School Srs. A few were in College.

He did real well some of the scouts said.

In the next two weeks he is going to the KC Royals camp and then to the Minnesota Twins camp.

But, he is also thinking of Going to College to play College Ball. If he gets a good offer does he take it or go to college? Very interesting situation.

So take a good look at the Josh. Skip (dad) always dreamed of being a professional ball player. Played legion ball and did real well. I think I smell a little Stage Dad going on.
That's OK. Go for it Josh. You won't get a second chance.

Good luck to ya kid

Take the offer (if its good), but commit yourself to getting an education.

If you really have talent, there should be a scholarship out there for you.

If you run into Van Schley, say hi from cabinet Bob.
