Fathers Day - The Charlotte Knights





What a day. My first Fathers Day. There was another Breedlove convoy, this time up I-85 to Charlotte, North Carolina.

We were the guests of both the Charlotte Knights (AAA Chicago White Sox) and one of their players - Chad Bentz. Chad has a similiar hand condition as Jack. Chad not only agreed to meet Jack, he invited Jack onto the filed prior to the game to throw baseballs and learn how to swith the glove from hand to hand.

Chad was awesome with Jack. We appreciate Chad, the staff of the Knights and the other players - they were all so kind to us and especially Jack.

Grandma and Grandpa Breedlove as well as Aunt Jennifer Breedlove were along for the trip. I think jack liked having them with him.

After the game, Jack and I ran the bases together - that was also fun.

The Breedlove convoy pointed the cars south and headed back down I-85, tired and hot but Jack had a great day - so did we.

Mom and Jack gave me a great gift - "the most excellent" man bag, which I use to carry my books to work in each day.
