Random Thoughts
Well, it's Friday night and my wife is out with a girlfriend so I can spend some time on the 'puter. Everything came out well with Miles at the neurologist--the doctor said he showed classic signs of Autism. Although I wonder...I know doctors are very good at what they do but they can really give a quick diagnosis like that for such a complex thing as autism? Like I said in an earlier post, Miles' teacher's seem to think he is not autistic and they spend almost every weekday with him during the school year. Ummm, some things to ponder.
Baseball News
Just looking at some baseball news, it seems that Texas and San Diego have pulled off a trade. Texas send Chan Ho Park (of CHoP as the folks over at the Newberg Report like to call him) for Phil Nevin. Nevin had vetoed a trade earlier in the week to Baltimore but Texas was not on his no-trade list so he'll be packing his bags.
One Nevin note to pass along. He was originally drafted #1 overall in 1992 by the Houston Astros but he didn't really pan out so he was traded to the Tigers for Mike Henneman (that brings back some memories!). From what I remember, he came up as a 3B but when he was traded to the Tigers, they made him a catcher. Anyway, one time I was on a business trip to Jacksonville, Florida and the Tigers old AA club, the Suns were in town and playing that night. I believe Brian Mohler was on the mound and Nevin was doing the catching.
My worker friend and I had seats in the front row, just to the left of home plate for the game. During the game while the Suns were out in the field, a player hit a high foul fly behind, and just to the left of home plate. The ball drifted even more to the left of us and there was a very high chain-link fence separating the stands from the field of play. As he attempted to catch the ball, Nevin crashed into the fence and the fence then slammed right into a middle-aged woman who was sitting in the front row. It looked pretty nasty from where I sat and she had a good blood gusher coming from her nose. Well, Phil felt pretty terrible about the whole thing and actually came over to the lady to check on her and apologize for crashing into her like that.
