I went to the Sunday game today in Oakland and got a seat down the 1st base sideline in RF. I didn’t know much about who was playing there today so I spent the first inning on google looking up some young buck called Daniel Johnson. Around the third inning he made a nice catch in the outfield, I cheered and heard a guy behind me do the same. I turned around to see a fellow Tribe fan but there was this young guy not even wearing A’s gear.

Well we got to talking and it was Dan brother and uncle sitting behind me. Found out all about him, that his nickname is “The Jet”, and how he grew up in the Bay Area. Their whole family was there in a section behind the dugout, but him and his uncle wanted to be closer to him on the field. They were great people, we had a lot of laughs. And seeing their reaction to his first ever big league HR was priceless.

And all-around, he played really well today! I certainly now a fan of his for life. I hope he builds a resume to keep him up in the Bigs.
