Went to Cleveland Zoo today. Harry was thrilled to see his very first koala in person. Really a first rate zoo in Cleveland according to my 5 year old reviewer.
Tomorrow is Tribe/Buccos and Harry crosses another ballpark off his "to see" list. Father's Day baseball with my kids. Kind of Norma Rockwell but damn will it be great.

Great day at Progressive Field. Awesome seats and Harry and Morgan met Slider the Mascot for a picture. Harry got a ball signed by Cord Phelps {rookie 2B} and Morgan caught a Tshirt in the stands. Best Fathers Day ever for me. Hope to spend 50 more just like it with my son and daughter.

Interesting post-script to Harry's adventure at the ballpark on Sunday. The game was won by the Indians in the 11th inning on a wlk-off three run blast by Cord Phelps, the rookie who signed Harry's ball.
Little HARRY SAXA magic rubbing off on a new player who made my little boy smile.

Transplant will begin July 5. Little man will spend about 4 weeks in hospital and about 2 months on modified house arrest after that. If anyone wants to send cards, etc please pm me for address. He loves mail almost as much as baseball.

Going to Phils/A's tonight followed by Orioles/Reds tomorrow night in Baltimore. July 3 will be Nats/Pirates in DC. Have to get in as many games as possible before little man goes on lockdown.
This Tuesday he will be on WIP radio in Philly talking with Anthony Gargano on the 10-3 show. Gargano heard about Harry's love of baseball and invited him to come in.

Great time at Camden Yards. Harry ate, drank and watched baseball. Slugfest between O's and Reds as 9 homers left the park. O's lost but a great time was had by all. Next up Nats/Pirates on Sunday in DC.

He's drinking already? Sounds like the little man's recovery has been even faster than you've let on.
In seriousness, glad to hear the good news keeps coming.

Great day for Harry yesterday. Got to hang out and talk some baseball with Anthony Gargano and Glenn Macnow on WIP radio in Philly. Very cool to see him wearing the headphones and talking into the big microphone. Sounded like a pro, and in my humble opinion, knew more than most of the callers.
Hosts could not have been nicer to him and one caller is painting him apicture of Chase Utley, his favorite Phil. Just a great experience.
This Sunday we will be at Nats game vs. Pirates. Section 130 if anyone cares to stop by.

Great day for Harry at National Zoo. Saw a great performance by the male panda which thrilled the kids. Today we are off to Nats/Pirates (Buccos to Harry) where thanks to ProvHoya we have some field passes for BP. Harry does not know about passes. Should begreat if weather holds.

That sounds like fun. And how is ProvHoya; it has been five years since he graced these boards?
