It is well documented that Michael's enthusiasm for his baseball games waxes and wanes, but what has not been explained is how his brother's zeal for those contest is always at apogee. If you think about it, why wouldn't it be? Each outing Alex gets to play with his best friend, share in the team post-game snack and go to Coldstone at the conclusion of the game if Michael has given his all. He gets all the good stuff without ever having to stand in a hot, dusty field for 2 hours. It will be interesting to see his enthusiasm level next year as he awaits for his opponents to hit the ball off a tee in 94 degree weather.

Here are the postcards that were sent to Michael and Alex's grandparents and greatgrandparents via Cardstore.com. I think of them as a mixture of public relations and propaganda. Read enough of their lives, and you can consider yourself a virtual grandparent/aunt/uncle. There are worse things.
