Tonight was Paco’s last Farm game, so we took Erin to Davis to see it.
She seemed to have a wonderful time visiting with all of the other parents.

She is pictured here with Valerie whose husband is one of Paco’s Giants
coaches. Valerie has a younger son who plays with Tommy at the games,
and I think she kept an eye on Tommy during the games Steve umpired.
Valerie also organized bringing dinners to Steve when he was first alone
with the boys. As Judy (Steve’s Mom) said, “Valerie is a doer.”

All 12 team members bat even though only 9 go on to the field. Paco sat
out the beginning of the game, then played short stop, 2nd base, right field,
and catcher – his favorite position. He throws the ball accurately back to
the pitcher.

The person who impressed me most was Steve who jumped up and caught

a foul ball that was headed for the top of my head!
