Though the train locomotive countdown was cool, this one is much cooler. Interesting to read about all these different parts of the state

I'm always excited about baseball season! I'm pretty excited about full crowds and being able to sit up in my normal seat next year.

Having only purchased tickets via StubHub or Ticketmaster as a staff person, I finally get to "pull tickets" as a grad student but I have no idea where to do such a thing. Also, can I include my wife and kiddos and where do students typically sit at Olsen? Thanks, guys.

---

Purchase a sports pass and just show up at the gates of Olsen with your student ID and get swiped in. There's no ticket pulling for baseball. Your family can sit with you, but you'll need to buy GA tickets for them. Students sit in the GA sections (202, 203, and the grass berms).*

*Caveat: This is how it worked prior to 2021

The Google car has never driven down FM 220, so here's a little view of it from SH 21.

I have driven down it and I don't blame the Google Car.

Most of you recognize that I love baseball. That love is surpassed only by my love of my Lord and of my family.

I consider you to be my "baseball family".

My bride and I have been married for almost 44 years. We have been blessed with three adult sons. Two are married and the youngest has not yet been blessed.

This past week has been the worst of my life.

A week ago our world was as perfect as possible. In a matter of days that all changed.

It all began with what was thought to be a common cold in my 9-month old grandson. The common cold was then identified as RSV. Okaythat remains treatable.

Then, it all turned into a nightmare. High fevers that were uncontrollable. A week ago, there were seizures. Another trip to the ER and a life care evacuation to The Children's Hospital of San Antonio.

There, test after test. Finally, a diagnosis: bacterial meningitis. And the worst, aggressive strain
of that wretched disease.

Thousands and thousands were in prayer. God heard and God answered. We pleaded for His Holy will to be done. And it was.

Our grandson was taken to his new home in Heaven where he joins other family members and friends who have gone on before us.

One day, when my time on this earth is up, he will meet me at the gate. He will no longer be in pain. My legs, that no longer work, will be new again.

I can't wait until I can chase him around the basebaths.

Some may think my story is one of failure. It is not. It is a story of victory.

A tremendous testimony of faith. God bless you and yours!

May He wrap your family in the peace and comfort only He can provide.

Eternal rest grant unto him, oh Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May he rest in peace.

Your entire family will be in my prayers, my friend

Maybe one of the best views we've seen to date!

Im so sorry. Ill keep your family in our prayers. The loss of a child/grandchild is a horrible thing to experience. PM me if you would like some resources on infant loss and grief. My mom runs a NP for prenatal and early infant loss.
