Sitting in the office in my costume today is making me wonder... what costumes are being worn by the creative folks of McCoven?

When I was growing up my father was commuting from Modesto to South San Francisco everyday for work and wasn't around as much as he would have liked, but the one thing that he always made time for was baseball.  Despite working and driving long hours, he was always coaching my little league teams, taking me to games and teaching me to love the Giants just as much as everyone else here.  As I grew up my parents divorced, I went away to college and life changed, but through everything my dad and I have remained very close - mostly because of baseball. 

Long story short, in 2006 I had to create an organization and fund raising kit for a marketing class that I was taking.  Being that baseball has always been the glue that kept my father and I together, it was the obvious choice.

For this project I "created" an organization called FAST Ball.  FAST(Fathers And Sons Together) Ball seeks to promote healthy relationships between fathers and their children through the game that we all love so very much.

Now that I am out of college and on my own I had been thinking about actually starting the organization and today, inspired by Sanchez and his father last night I've decided to find like minded people to see if I can actually get the ball rolling.

If any of my fellow McCoven are interested in joining the cause I could certainly use the help.  Especially if anyone has non-profit experience, because I certainly don't.

I've also started a facebook fan page and a twitter for anyone that is interested.

Thanks for the support everyone. I've said it before and I'll say it again - You all rock!
