After a long road, JD's former team mate Mitch Jones made his debut in the big leagues. Nothing could be sweeter for JD than for Mitch to get called up to the team that JD bleeds for. The Dodger's can now do no wrong.
Tuesday night Mitch was called in to pinch hit for the pitcher. It was amazing. He went up to bat. The announcer announced the change, the score board read in big blue and white letters: 31 year old Mitch Jones first at bat after 9 and a half years in the minor league. They crowd gave him a standing ovation. He battle through the at bat, but sadly struck out. Do not dismay, the entire crowd was on their feet and cheered as he walked back to the dugout.
Wednesday night started off the same way. Will he get in or not. He did. This time the nerves seemed to be gone. The pitch came in and he put so much power in it not only did the ball take off, but so did the end of his bat. 3 A's players went after the ball but not in time. It dropped between the three of them and Mitch Jones is officially hitting .500 for the Dodger's. There were tears in the eyes of the three 32 year old men that surrounded me. Mitch was living out all of their dreams.
Thanks Mitch and congradulations!

Sounds amazing, so glad you got to be there to see it. When I heard about your anniversary trip to watch the Dodgers with 2 of his friends I wasn't to impressed with his planning, but it sounds like it turned out to be a great experience to share with him. JD's lucky to have you as a wife to love him as you do and be at his side for all you have. Love ya!
Yeah, I think we have watched that 99 times already. There were tears here as well (he just might not admit to them)
