Brian’s going to China!

And the last post I have (for now, anyway) is that Brian Barden was named this afternoon to the USA Baseball team, and will play in the Olympics in Beijing next month! Brian has a .303 average and .371 OBP for the St. Louis Cardinals’ AAA team in Memphis this season. I got to know Brian because he’s a relative of my ex-wife, and have gotten to see him several times…the last time was Spring Training 2007, just after the birth of his daughter, and just before he made the opening day roster for the Diamondbacks. Congrats, Brian! Hopefully this will be one more step to making it on a major league roster…permanently.
