The Wolfson Children's Hospital Visit
Adam, Southpaw (the mascot), and a few of his teammates paid a visit the Wolfson Children's Hospital yesterday to brighten some miniature spirits. Not having seen a 7-foot upright walking dog before, a few children were a bit skiddish, but some kids recognized Southpaw right away. Each of the precious kiddos were given a signed baseball, Southpaw's baseball card, and then got to do arts and crafts with the guys at the very end. One little boy even drew a picture of a dog to be Southpaw's friend. After seeing that drawing, Adam suggested that the little boy give Southpaw some big floppy ears. The boy replied, "I already did!" and pointed to a drawing on the paper from a previous doodle he'd done 10 minutes before. Hahahahaa :) Adam came home still laughing about it! So sweet :)
Adam was humbled to visit these young children yesterday, and mentioned that seeing a sick child really put things into perspective for him. So many things in life are easy to take for granted - our health especially - and everyday we wake up should be another reason to thank the Lord for His many blessings.

Great to hear Adam had a chance to go, I still remembr the time I was in a children's hospital and spent time with Sean Casey. I spent the next 10 years following his ascent to the bigs and telling everyone about him and that story.
