Sometimes baseball is a dirty business, both literally and figuratively. This is Lance's second year playing for Canes. This summer didn't start out as well as the previous year but that all changed when he spent a week playing on a select team in the PBR 17U National Showcase outside Atlanta, Georgia. Here he was reunited with the team mates he loved best from Captials last year and in the process earned the respect of his teammates from the current year that were on the team as well. The National coach and assistant coach absolutely loved Lance, his attitude, skill and versatility. As a bonus we actually got to watch him play, as it was all televised.
Once the summer season ended, he was invited to play in two fall showcase events with the National team and one last Scout Cast yesterday. Then it was lights out on Lance's travel ball career.
Its a bitter sweet time. I think Chris will really miss being his concierge service on the road. However, as he works and we pray, we know that even greater baseball experiences await him in the future.
