Toby and Cliff
I was remembering back to the fall of '05. I flew out to San Francisco for a fun weekend with all of my 2005 mlb draft class, all my professionals that I had just signed. So I drove a bunch of young "deer in the headlights" prospects down Lombard st., around San Fran and on to the ballpark. It was the off-season so no game for the giants. We all got out and stood at a gate overlooking the outfield and took it all in. Most of these guys had a million and change in the bank but were still fascinated by the big league park and how far it seemed from them. Fast-forward to today, just thirty-six months later, and Cliff Pennington is turning double plays for the A's. In a major league uniform, in a major league park, on a major league team.
I also remember back to going after Cliff as a client. I met with him at the Cheddar's in College Station, when he was a freshman. He was a great Christian kid, always making good decisions and surrounding himself with good people. I guess that is why I am so proud of him now. Cliff gets it. Sounding like an old Dad, he never got caught up, the game was never too big. He got drafted, signed, stuck his money in the bank and went and played baseball. He loved a Godly girl so he married her and they both are living the same influence and dream. He believes in his influence, so he makes known what his life stands for and welcomes everyone to be a part of the joy that he knows.
Its real simple with Cliff. I went to a 1pm game yesterday, and he is playing catch joking around out in the outfield like Im sure he did when he was 19, or 12, or 6. I guess thats why we are so proud of Cliff and Missy. They are who they are. They have success and influence because they are true to who God has made them. We are so proud of you guys.
