  Let’s call it minor leauge, where dreams begin and odd names survive. Perhaps it’s the Lehigh Valley IronPigs against the Lansing Lugnuts… Thanks, Amy.

Wow one baseball that holds so much power…life…you can apply this to every part of life…not totally fun when the ball is in your park…but so true…life gives us moments when we can stretch ourselves and grow into the people we are…scary….still doing that myself:)
