So Cal is convinced baseball (and football) is in his blood. I think at first he thought it was because he was named after Cal Ripken, but now he has a true reason. Recently he found out that my third cousin was a quarterback for the Atlanta Falcons (Steve Bartkowski), so he is obsessed with this; it's rather funny. I personally have never met the guy, though my Mom and several other family members had the opportunity to see him play on multiple occasions and meet him (I was a toddler at the time, so I stayed with Grandma). Cal wants to write him and meet him. Then Cal found out Steve's Dad played for the Cubs, and my Great-Grandpa was on the farm team for the Texas Rangers. He was unable to play majors, because he went to war instead. But I guess this means it really is in Cal's blood. He made two outs for his team playing first base Thursday night in one inning. Here is one I caught on video. Perhaps he is destined for the big leagues like his ancestors : )
