Russ Ortiz (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russ_Ortiz), who played mostly for the San Francisco Giants and Atlanta Braves, and who pitched in the World Series, was one of the guys. The other was Brian Hommel (http://www.upi.org/html/Staff/Hommel.html) who played with the Milwaukee Brewers. It was really cool to meet these guys. Brian is currently the chaplain for the Arizona Diamondbacks and gave an awesome devotion on Sunday night on John 15. Russ loved Micaiah, and was constantly making faces with her whenever she was around.
Probably the coolest thing about these guys was how humble they were. Both expected to be treated just like everyone else, and hung out with the teams here all the time. It's good to see God bringing high profile people to work with the least of these.
That is really pretty special. This is a very good picture. It is good to know that these guys are helping to touch the lives of those less fortunate also. We are very proud of you guys and Love and Miss you lots. Hugs and Kisses to you. XO
