Great read. Really glad your boy had the chance to meet his favourite players and hit the field with them. Sounds like everyone had a great time.

I've heard you tell stories since Race Around The World, Tony - that tops them all. Great job by the Hawks - it's a small thing for them, a massive one for Jack.
