Tryouts Tomorrow

Bright and early tomorrow morning I am heading out with Michelle to Tel Aviv. Why so early? It’s not to avoid the traffic from the gay pride parade if that’s what you are thinking. Tomorrow morning at 8:30 is the Israeli tryout for the inaugural season of the Israel baseball league. The league is being funded by a Boston entrepreneur and Dan Duquette (former general manager of the Boston Red Sox) is in charge of player development. I know that I don’t have a chance of actually making the league because they are filling it with players that can actually, well, play. But the tryout should be a fun time. How many people do you know who get to try out for a professional baseball league?

What I am really looking to do is make some connections with the people working on the administrative side of the league. I would love to volunteer to help the league and get some experience working in baseball. How cool would that be? I’ll tell you. It would be very cool. So cool that I would need a new cool cell phone so I could talk to my new cool friends all of the time. It’s ok though. We can still be friends. If you’re cool.
