I haven’t taken the digital camera out the ball field yet this season.
The other night, I finally remembered it.
Nothing super eventful...but my son Travis was called to the lonely hill to pitch after his Angel's found themselves down 10-0 against the hated first-place Yankees.
To be honest, pitching freaks him out a bit but I love his mechanics and body language when he is on the mound.
The greatest words a pitcher can ever hear from the umpire are “Strike Three!”.
After he retired the side, he came to the plate and was promptly beaned. I love his disgust—as he was dying to crank one against his rivals.
Youth baseball on a warm June night…awesome.
Seeing your son’s competitive spirit in action…priceless!
Now…onto more shameless work plugging!
This week on Franktownrocks.com— we launched a new contest!
While I was loitering in the Town Hall….our programmers launched the Golden Guitar Pick Quest!
After much diligent searching, I found them all!
And ultimately…The Golden Pick!
Please check out my labor of love at www.franktownrocks.com.
You know what they say:
You can pick your friends...
And you can pick your nose...
But...
Where do you find golden pick number 16 and the actual golden pick? Please tell me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My kid and I search every where for the 16th pick!

I should not do this but...since you read this on my blog:
The 16th pick is outside of the Dept. Store but it is cleverly hidden. Think..."Recycling".
As far as as the golden pick...here is a clue: The mayor has entrusted the gargoyles to protect it where he offices.
Sorry for not being more specific but I would feel bad if I just told you directly.

Well done, xxxx. But other players should keep in mind that the golden pick only appears after you have found ALL the other picks. You can't even see it until you have found the others. Have fun and thanks for playing at Franktownrocks.com
