Spring Training

Maybe some of you have heard by now that I was invited to tryout with the Dodgers at their spring training camp in Arizona. There I am in the picture, in the on deck circle, just behind Manny Ramirez. Lately, I have been hitting fifth in the lineup, just behind Manny. At first I called him Mr. Ramirez but he said it was o.k. to call him Manny, "everybody call me Manny." He calls me kid, or as he says it, "keed." A couple of days ago I drove him in from first with a home run and when I reached home plate he congratulated me and said, "you got a nice swing keed." Mr. Torre (everybody calls him Mr. Torre) says that I have real chance to make the club. With about 50 at bats so far I am hitting .320 with 2 homers and 9 rbi's.
