Guest Comments:

"As promised, here are a few of the pictures that were taken at the ballpark. At the meet-and-greet, Mr. Fieldin Culbreth spoke about the duties of the umpires and how they rotate each position game to game. He also gave each of us a official game ball and told us that it was unique in that MLB will not make anymore quite like it. Thanks to Jenn and the wonderful people over at Most Valuable Kids and to Mr. Culbreth with BLUE for Kids for offering an invaluble experience." - Courtney Stewart of Mentoring Works2
