You get your first autograph book and can't wait to get that signature. Here comes your favorite player-and he spots you-coming right up to sign your book. You thank him, shake his hand and look up at your dad with a huge smile.

This is Max's life. He's been going to baseball games and events before he could walk. This is what you see at the ball park-a family environment. It's all for the kids-and we are all kids-big and small. Baseball-what a game!

Fergie Jenkins held his first annual Fergie and Friends Celebrity Baseball Game at Hohokam Park in Mesa, Arizona on March 28, 2008-and we were able to attend the event. It was a must to get the VIP pass. Here is a photo with Max and two Hall of Famers-Fergie Jenkins and Billy Williams. If you get a chance to see an event like this-don't pass up on it.
