Red Cross All Star Game


I was honored to get the opportunity to volunteer at the Red Cross Amazing All-Star Game. It truly was amazing. Right when we came in we saw baseball legend Vernon Law and Scott Nielson. The were so nice to our family, really great men.

Sara and I were in charge of the silent auction table. She was the neatest woman. She is a doctor of internal medicine, just returned from a mission to Brazil and now she volunteers at the Red Cross. I really enjoyed getting to know her.

Here is a line up of all the All-Stars. Each on of them had played for a different team in Major League Baseball. This truly was the best experience! They were all so nice.

I got to sit and talk to Vernon Law in the dugout while he signed some baseballs for the auction. He told me some really neat stories. He was an amazing pitcher he won the Cy Young Award when they gave it to only one pitcher in all of Major League Baseball. He also led the Pittsburgh Pirates to victory in the World Series in 1960.

I got to be the "ball girl." It was so fun. I took baseballs to each of the pro players to have them sign. It was a really fun experience to get to talk to each of them.

I have no idea what this picture is of. The two players on the left are Dale Iorg and Scott Nielson. Don't ask me what I am doing.
