Good afternoon everyone, and welcome to the 2018 SoSH Auction. It's a time of unbelievable items and experiences, certainly, but more importantly, it's a period in which we come together as one of a community to enrich the lives of others. This year, donations and bids will be made to the Boston Athletic Academy, which will prove a chance for underprivileged children an opportunity to have a baseball clinic of their own, spearheaded by former Red Sox reliever and 2007 World Series champion Manny Delcarmen as well as his friend from Hyde Park, Jose Diaz. After all, to paraphrase, if you build it, Manny will come. The academy will have batting cages, hitting equipment where necessary, mounds, and areas to build strength. This permanent facility will also include oppotuntites, equipment, and tools for athletes of other sports. Furthermore, there will be a tutoring area to help academics. Considering the word student precedes the word athlete in the proper phrasing, this will help the academy shine in respects far beyond anyone's expectations, and making them accessible for all families and individuals.
As a result of the names involved, we already have a signed ball on offer by Manny himself to begin matters in the realm of baseball specific experiences, and I will be eating one of these, no milk, complete with an uploading of my squirming and pain to be shared in P&G. The winner gets a huge shout out and gets to decide the rules of my contest and fate within such a chip's eating.
Any and all items are welcomed! Your contributions of opportunities within experiences of laughter, awesomeness, and just tremendous experiences are second to none. When sending an item, please send a direct message addressed to me to make sure it meets standards (it almost assuredly will) and so that we can market it to its full potential.
Why do so? Well, in a time of disagreements, and a harsh world of many respect, this is the perfect time to build bridges with not only one another but also in the world as we know it. How often do we get such an opportunity to make such a difference in the world, let alone for something we all have as a great passion? For me, the BAA is like family: My father taught me about baseball, as I'm imagining was the case for many of us. Well, what if we can be a father of sorts to these kids, for the next generation? Pay it forward, for not only the opportunities it means but what love we can share for this great past time. Everyone deserves a shot to play and learn. As for the leading the charge, hey, why not us?
For further information, and as a first hand representative, Jose himself will be here to post some useful specifics about the facility.
