UK held @UKsoftball and @UKBaseball Fan Day this evening, and I'll post a gallery soon. But here are two of my newest heroes, proving there is a LOT of good in our future.

@UKBaseball and @UKsoftball held a joint Fan Day today, with skills clinics for the youngsters and autograph sessions. Judging by the smiles I saw, I believe the players had as much or more fun that the youngsters! Cats' Pause photo gallery here: https://t.co/iYrzz0DBUw pic.twitter.com/RfoXzPTw3o

Events like this are always awesome to see the players connect with kids on a more personal level. It is clear that the attendees have a blast and it seems that the players enjoy every minute of it as well. Fingers crossed for huge success on the field that matches the excitement off the field for both of these squads in the upcoming seasons.
