It;'s getting closer.

Through the years I have blogged about an old softball team mate of mine who is a pretty good baseball player. Josh Judy whom used to play for us while he was pitching University High to the State Finals and winning a State Championship with the American Legion before becoming an All-American at Indiana Tech and being drafted by the Cleveland Indians (Whew, that's a long sentence), has been playing pro ball for a few years now.

Well yesterday his dream just became much closer to being a reality. As the 2010 season will be the first season he will be contractually eligible to play in the Major Leagues, he will start spring training this season in the Big League Camp. He's not on the roster yet, but this is a good indication that there is a chance he may make the 40 man roster when rosters go from 25 to 40 players in September.

I see Josh's dad all the time and constantly get updates on his progress. I think it is about time for me to finally buy a Cleveland Indians hat.

Just for the record, the MLB minimum salary is $400,000 a year. Josh, I will be needing tickets in the near future.
