Please excuse me for bragging but I am very proud of my family and today I am especially proud of my nephew Jay who just reported for spring training with the Baltimore Orioles. Jay was drafted last year and was pitching for one of the Orioles minor league affiliates the Aberdeen IronBirds. He had a great first season.

Yesterday Jay reported to the Orioles camp with all the other players and was assigned his locker. What an amazing feeling to see your nephew's name on a locker and professional jersey with his name on it. I know my brother Mike and our entire family are very proud of this boy and are all decked out in our orange, black and white. I can hardly wait for games to start and follow every pitch he makes. Jay has all the ability in the world and I think it is a just a matter of time before he makes it to the big leagues. No matter what happens, we are all very proud and honored to get to be a part of watching a dream come true. Go Orioles and go Jay!! Uncle Brian is very proud of you buddy.
