This One's For You, Dad.

Well, I finally made it. I'm officially in the Bigs. A select few of the Americans have been drafted to play baseball for the University of Valencia. You may say, well Sean, did you happen to bring any gear to play a sport besides soccer which requires only shoes? And I will answer, the University of Valencia Astro's are outfitting us with gear to play with.

We practiced last night for the first time at 8. It felt great to step back on a real baseball field and take some BP and do various fielding exercises. During some of our fielding exercises the Spanish coaches would give us tips on how to improve. America's favorite past time (also all Fathers dreams) . Although we aren't eligible to play at Omaha against all the other college teams, I believe strongly we will improve the Astro's (who may or may have not lost their last game 1-11) record to a winning season.

I'm actually pretty excited I get to bring the ole Axe out and swing away. Your Scott Thorman look alike,The Lumberjack Sean Frendt is going to dominate first base and will have a batting record better than Andruw Jones (if you don't recall he went sub .190 so I should be ok).

I will continue to update throughout the season and can hopefully get some pictures up. For now Imagine a baseball field and me on it. - Sean
