with my son
We homeschooled our son and when he was junior high and high school age. We started spending 3 weeks in AZ for a total of 7 years at spring training and also 3 weeks at Arizona fall league. We collected cards to get autographed and all the time it entailed- ordering, sorting, dusting, etc and then the weeks together going to all the camps. My son also got to batboy- for team USA with Frank Robinson as manager, the Brewers (and got to be batboy at Price Fielders first spring training game for the Brewers) as well as some Fall League Teams. We probably collected 10,000+ autographed cards which we still have and took pictures of him with numerous players. We have some amazing memories and hundred of stories that we will always remember. Now that he is graduating from chiropractic school he doesn't do in person autographs though after he retired when he entered college I kept it up for another 5 years. We also sent to 100's of plyers every year.
So sorry about your wife but so glad you are building precious memories.
