So, its hard to put in context what a roller coaster ride this has been. The past 6 months has been questionairre after questionnaire, interview after interview and it all came down to Monday's draft. We got the call the Mets wanted to take Alika in the 2nd round, 59th pick overall, for a sh!t ton of money. We worked the scenario for weeks and weeks prior but wow what a hard decision. Opted for college, he's going to ASU but man what depression has followed like 'did we make the right choice?'. Got so many supportive messages from friends and scouts that it was the right choice. Today, the Yankees took him in the 32nd round. No questions just congrats you deserved to have "drafted by the Yankees" on your resume. It took a while to register, but no matter what happens in life, if he never plays ball again, he can forever say he was drafted by the Yankees. Pretty cool consolation from that organization, but we'll do it all again in 3 years!!!
Thanks for reading, and thanks for letting me share this with the tight gang here. Appreciate all your kind words.
Aloha to all my friends here!
