So Excited. On my birthday, I found out who received the Bob Holk Baseball Scholarship at Oregon State University. For those that don’t know, when he passed, his cousin started a baseball scholarship in his name. Each year we get notified of the recipient. On a whim, I thought I would reach out and message him. I hoped I would hear a response, but you just never know. I woke up today to a response and I couldn’t be happier. So excited to meet this sweet pitcher (since dad was also a pitcher) and root him and the rest of the Beavs on! — The bonus of this was this birthday marked the 10th birthday without dad. In 2012, my birthday landed on a Beaver Basketball 🏀 Game night. Dad wanted to go but knew it was my bday. I said go, have fun, I thought I have many birthdays to come, I’m 36, what’s one birthday. I don’t regret letting him go, he had a blast, I just hate knowing it was my last. I felt this simple sweet message was a way of dad saying happy birthday. ⚾️❤️⚾️❤️⚾️

This is the story of Aimee's Allstars.

Following the exciting matchup between the New York Yankees and the Chicago White Sox and the awesome production of the “Field of Dreams” game, MLB fans on Twitter are calling for a game honoring “The Sandlot” next.

It's been more than 30 years since Shoeless Joe Jackson stepped out of the Iowa cornfields in the iconic Field of Dreams movie, but actor Dwier Brown still remembers that feeling well as it came rushing back when he returned to Dyersville this week.
