Tonight, it’s just about one young lady and maybe her sister Jan !

Larger than Life…
Let’s call 📞 this one : The one about Rafael Anglada, Greg Maddux, Peyton Spencer, and the Man in Peoria, Illinois.
To say that Greg Maddux is important to me in the world 🌎 of baseball ⚾️ would be quite the understatement. The jersey in the photos came from a kind soul that I met about a decade ago in Peoria, Illinois, while attending a minor league baseball game.
Maddux spent time with the club in 1985, back when he was just the too small little brother of Mike Maddux. I was deep in a conversation with someone who worked with the club, and I told him about my collection of Maddux jerseys, included every place that he pitched.
Fast forward, roughly 30 minutes later, our paths crossed again, and this time, he was bearing a gift 🎁. He took the time to match the jersey from that time period and made me a Greg Maddux Peoria Chiefs jersey. Talk about bringing joy to someone’s life….
Rafael is an amazing human being that I met one night down in Lakeland, Florida, and we share a common goal – being gatekeepers of the historic game of baseball. We exchange stories about the game when we can, and I know that he will appreciate this one.

The link there is a stunning one that neither of us had ever seen before.
Last night at the volleyball match, I had my first opportunity to both meet and share a thought with our current Ace, Peyton Spencer. The young man passed the very important first test by acknowledging his love and respect for his family !
It was a fun moment, and I did my best to offer words of encouragement to him. That moment will remain his, but know that it immediately made me think about both Rafael and that day in Peoria !
If you have two minutes, the link is to one of 5,000 Maddux stories…
