T-ball just started, and Coach Andy already made a little boy cry. You see, Jason Varitek recently moved to our neighborhood, and there was a rumor buzzing around that he was going to pop in at T-ball practice just to say hi to the kids. (It ended up that he didn't come, but that doesn't change the story.) So Andy was running a station where kids were hitting beach balls off the tees, and a little kid came up with a Jason Varitek shirt. Andy said to him, in mock seriousness, "Gee, when Jason Varitek gets here, he might want to get his shirt back from you!" That was enough for the kid's eyes to well up and he was crying before Andy could break into a grin.
Anyhow, from all accounts, the Variteks are a nice, normal family and are likely to send their kids to our public school and be very visible in the neighborhood, which I think will be terrific for everyone!
WE love TEK - he is a GA Tech alumni and we watched him play one sumemr on the Cape - how lucky you are to have him in your town (my boys will be jealous!)
