European Big League Tour

[yankeebiscuitfan]

Today, the European Big League Tour (organized by O's Rick van den Hurk) was in Amsterdam. My nephew and my niece attended it. This tour give kids the opportunity to learn from the pros. The money they raise with this tour is donated to the Ronald McDonald foundation.

Here are some impressions:

Man that is so cool! Good to see the pics and I bet those kids had the time of their life.

It was really fun. At one moment, Roger Bernadina was high fiving with my niece. At the end allthe kids of the group of my niece were sitting on a bench. Bernadina ran from right to left giving all those kids low fives. You should have seen that, those kids were all smiles.
