Keeping Tabs


Clare and I are both interested in White Sox rookie second baseman Micah Johnson.  According to today’s Tribune, this is how Johnson reacted to the news he’d be starting on Opening Day against the Royals—he called his parents and his high school coach and then personally thanked his minor league coaches.  “I didn’t make this on my own,” admitted the 24-year old.  “It was God and those guys.”  Well said.

Johnson took college classes in the offseason, knows Spanish and French, and is thinking of attending law school as a way to prepare for a post-playing career in somebody’s front office.  This is what I call a role model, and my daughter agrees.  Now, we cross our fingers in the hope that performance matches potential.
