David,
Thanks for posting the pics. the little guy in the green shirt is legendary Dodger scout George Genovese who scouted Casey. Dabar refers to him as " Our angel ".

Thanks to all of you. We are truly blessed. Caseys brother Jesse is playing with the Dodgers in Vero Beach (High A) and is doing well. He's a big hitting 1st basemen. Casey is 6'8 and pitches. I can't believe that both my sons are in the pros. I better save my money. Their both gonna need it. Ogden for Casey will be on my concert list. I've been on the road for the past 9 days and I got the news yesterday. Can't wait to hug and kiss. Flyin home tomorrow. Sturgis bike rally was a blast.. Had a great time on the other dates as well. Just finished a show in Kentucky....good night.... zzzzzzzzzzzz

Thank you Stephanie. The kids never wanted to take up music. When they started Little League it was clear that they had talent that put them on the top of the heap. With each passing year they got better and better. We didn't stand in their way. They all got full ride scholarships (which helped me a lot) and they just evolved into the pro ranks... It's not an easy road. There's a lot of pressure.. everyone's "gunnin" for you. But hey we like a good challenge.... Check out www.vbdodgers.com His first name is Jesse

We will talk soon. I'll call you.
