Ok, I sorta made the paper.
Last night I went to an Orem Owlz game in search of some autographs. The new team set came out and I wanted to get something signed before the end of the season.
I'd been watching a guy tear it up for most of the season. When I read the stat line on him, I was shocked to see the line.
Pioneer League Most Valuable Player
#1 in Batting average, .400
#1 in Hits (108)
#1 in Doubles (28)
#1 in RBIs (72)
#1 in Runs (68)
#1 in On-base percentage (.481)
#1 in Slugging percentage (.668).
#2 (tied) 14 home runs.
This stat line is probably the best line ever in the history of baseball.
I approached Roberto at batting practice last night and asked him to sign a bat. I prepared my request by first giving him a "Tony Gwynn" autographed ball and then asked for the impossible. I asked if he'd sign my bat with ALL of the above listed stats. (I've seen some of the greats do it, so I thought I'd see if Roberto would be generous to do it for me). He seemed surprised, so I explained exactly what I wanted. He was happy and didn't seem to mind.
This morning in the news paper I found this article.
"Lopez joins .400 club as Owlz beat Ogden"
The first line of the article "Roberto Lopez was given a bat by a fan and asked to list all the categories that he leads the Pioneer League in and then autograph the bat."
What a blast!

Tammy's Vacation!
This vacation was a few hundred bucks, but will cost me $25,000 because Tammy fell in love with the convertible.

Lets see what cool photos we can find!
A while back we got a chance to meet Ty Herndon, working with the promoter for a local gig Ty did. We all got pics, but Tammy was horribly pregnant, so forgive me if I'd rather not get hit and post em.
