Finally, Peter got his wish. He was chosen Wednesday afternoon by the Pittsburgh Pirates with their 15th-round selection, 445th overall. Peter said, “I had my computer right next to me and every so often I would kind of glance at it. I was watching a movie and I glanced over and saw my name pop up right when I looked over. I just stared at the screen for a good 20 minutes.”
Peter knows that he has a long road ahead before potentially reaching baseball’s pinnacle. He’s been told he needs to get bigger and stronger than his current 6-foot-1, 180-pound frame and a few years in the minors before donning a big-league uniform.
On Saturday I went to my first geocache function. Some of the local hobbyists organized a CITO event at a nearby Crown Land woodlot on Pinehearst Line. Geocachers from Essex, Lampton, and Kent counties attended and they got over 2 pickup loads of trash carried out and registered 12 new caches for others to find. Later in the evening they held a meet & greet dinner at Glitters Restaurant in Chatham. Door prizes galore and a nice bunch of people to share a meal with.
