Nicholas Wheeler - Superstar

It's finally official. Justice has been served. After mowing down the batters in his league for the whole season, swinging the heavy lumber, and leading his team to first place, my brother is officially an all-star. He'll have 20 practices with his new teammates over the next few weeks to prepare for the regional tournament. Hopefully, they will be kicking some serious keister.

You might recall that my brother got stiffed for all-stars last year. If it happened this year, I would probably end up behind bars as I just couldn't let the unjustice of it all stand and I would commit some criminal acts in retribution. I'm not sure what they would be, but you know...

Anyway, the kid is super-pumped. We usually talk on the phone for about 5 minutes. He talked my ear off for half an hour about this yesterday. He's really worked hard and done everything he could to get better. My stepfather has been there every step of the way working with him and helping him achieve his goals. I couldn't be prouder of both of them. Great job Nick!
