I'm amazed about the things that have gone on the last few days! Kito and I were thoroughly blessed from our trip to Wakayama! The train systems were a little different from any transportaion in Okinawa. We were able to make it down to Wakayama for the tryout. All I have to say is that it lasted about 30 minutes! I warmed up in the freezing cold for about 20 of those miniutes before playing some catch with a catcher for about 10. From the mound I only threw about 15 pitches before they shut me down. Was something wrong I thought? Usually when you're shut down it means time to pack up and go home. Well, we were actually packing up to head down to the main office for 3 hours to talk about being on the team. We talked about the contract along with all the odds and ends of playing baseball with the team. Afterwards, we headed back into Osaka to be fitted for the uniform at Mizuno sports. The Lord made it so simple when it seemed so difficult. Of course there will be more to come soon. I have to head back to Wakayama before January 27th for an official team introduction. On January 13th is when I became a professional baseball player! Praise the Lord! Thank you to all who continued praying for me and being a big blessing in my life. Also, big thanks to Tokito for being the main man while traveling the mean trains, planes, and subways in Osaka and for being the best super agent an old cat can have! God bless you brother! More to come later! Please stay in tuned!!
