"Not that I take it for granted but, the day-to-day routine, I think you forget what an honor it is to come work here every day. You get reminded of that when you see the look on the kids faces and the parents faces too," he said.
After a hitting lesson, the kids even got the chance to bat a few balls right onto the field. A lot of them say it's an afternoon that they will not soon forget.
