In the famous words of Dave Niehaus......
Jackson hit his very first GRAND SLAM at last nights baseball game. You should have seen the smile that completely overtook his face! He was ecstatic. As was I and the entire crowd. First home run of the season for the team.
He had 3 hits, and 5 RBI's out of the teams 10 RBI total. Not bad.
It was quite sad, a few weeks back Jackson was in the dugout on deck and one of the coaches overheard him talking to himself. "Please let me get a hit, please let me get a hit." Coach Rick was so moved that decided that he'd take Jackson on as his own little project and start working with him on the side. So Jackson's been over at his house a bunch of times since then working with Rick on his batting. Apparently it's worked!
Jackson's first thought, of course, was how much money will Aunt Whitney pay me for this? Hey, if money is what he needs to keep the bats going, then I'm all for throwing down some cash!

Congrats, Jackson! That's awesome!
Sweet! That must have been so fun to see!
That's exciting. All I ever did in baseball was hit a bird... and that'd not quite as exciting as a home run, I'm pretty sure.
I am glad my pocketbook is motivation for him!
