We learned last night that JD is having a team scrimmage game, full uniform and under the lights on Friday evening.  The team is doing it as a food drive and the public is welcome.  Admission is a canned good.  Jodi, along with family and friends will be attending, so if you want to go see the first glimpse of JD in a Cougar uniform, here is your opportunity.

He also told us that the coach told him they had a spot for him in the Jayhawk Summer Collegiate League.  This league is where Roger Clemens, Ozzie Smith, Albert Pujols, Barry Bonds and others played their collegiate summer ball.  He would stay with a host family and play about 50 games in two months.  It is a wood bat league and the league has an automatic berth to the NBC World Series each year. 

We're heading to St. Louis tomorrow afternoon for the fireworks fest.  We've put a lot of hard work into our club show so I'm hoping it goes as planned.  I've spent a couple nights building some additional racks we may need.  We have some 8" shells in our show as well as 6" titanium salutes that people will probably hear 5 miles away.
