Lil' bro Kramer to sign with the Yankees tonight

Just got off the phone with Kramer, my younger brother who pitches--well, now, I guess used to pitch--for Barton College and the Wilson Tobs. Dude's signing a contract with the Yankees tonight. He'll start pitching for Staten Island sometime later this week. 

So awesome, so surreal. So freakin' great. 

Now, I know that lots of you think the dude's a huge stud. And, well, I guess he sorta is now. Throwing 91-93 mph on the corners at the knees, with two dirty off-speed pitches -- yeah, that's studly. 

But before he was a stud, he (at right in the picture below) looked like this:

(And yeah, that's me to the left.)

Congrats, bro. Heck of an adventure ahead of you. Can't wait to see how it plays out.

hahahaha I love that picture :)

I didn't realize he was starting so soon and up there. Single A is pretty sweet then.. so I guess he's not going to start in a short season league?

Also.. we need to start putting money away, so we can afford to go see... NY (and I suppose see Kramer pitch)

Yeah, they're starting him right into A ball.

Hey congrats. Even though I live just a little bit away from the S.I. stadium, I've never been. Good luck to Kramer. And Btw, here's a profile on him from a Yankee fan site.
