proud mama (by proxy)

#1 Post by lilyvonschtupp26 » Fri Jun 06, 2008 5:49 pm

My son has played baseball with Kyle Gaedele since he was 9 years old. He's a big strong right-handed pitcher and outfielder as well as 3rd baseman. He hit .440 with 7 HR, 28 RBI, 8 triples, 15 doubles. fast runner too.

Today he got drafted by the Tampa Bay Rays!

and best of all he's a wonderful kid. he'll be someone to watch.

(also he's the great-nephew by Eddie Gaedele. a great baseball trivia question in the making)

Congratulations. I believe I mentioned Eddie in one of my gratuitous posts.
I believe in the usefulness of useless information.

you would, Uly! I held Eddie's bat in my hands. It's about 18" long. They've given his uniform to the baseball hall of fame.

I figure Beast would love this connection.

I'll be watching for him...

When he makes the majors, I'll try to draft him for the Rocks!

went to Kyle's graduation party yesterday. I carried a MLB and pen to be the first to ask him for his autograph. but alas, grandpa had already beaten me to the punch. . .
