My final story from COMMS 321 made it in today's paper!
Host families share homes and friendship with Owlz
This story was really a lot of fun to write. It made an Owlz fan out of me. It was great to get to know these families and everything they do to support minor league baseball. Baseball may be dying out in popularity these days, but there will always be a special place in my heart for it.
Soon, I'll be checking out the BYU baseball schedule and the Orem Owlz schedule. I want to be sure to make it to a lot of baseball games this summer.
Did you know I haven't sat down and watched a live baseball game since ... 2004? Yikes. Well, I didn't play my senior year in high school. I told myself I would go watch my high school team, but for some reason I ended up seeing only softball games. And soon after that I flew off to Cordoba, Argentina for two years. Not much baseball there.
Anyway, I am excited for the smell of the grass and the crack of the bat! Play ball!

LA Angels Manager Mike Scioscia Visits Provo (February 2, 2010)
Here's that story about Mike Scioscia:
LA Angels manager Mike Scioscia visits Provo
It was a fun evening. It made me really jealous though! I love baseball. But I have not quite reached the level of worship that those who sat at my table have attained. I have yet to be a season ticket holder of any team or to fly all over the country and visit every professional baseball stadium ever. Maybe someday.
Also, the winners of the Cartoon Caption contest were revealed (go to page 3). We only had five responses...I hope more people participate next time. Speaking of which, Alexa at the Universe wants to do this caption contest twice a month. Which means there will be either my cartoon or my cartoon with the submitted captions every week! I'm still going to try and do my regular cartoons too.
Oh, one more thing: the sports editors asked me to do a basketball story this weekend. I get to watch Saturday's game against UNLV on TV, then listen to the KSL post-game interview for quotes. It should be a lot of fun. And it's really cool that, even though I'm assigned to swimming and gymnastics, I've already written stories on football, baseball and (coming soon) basketball.
I'm going to be the next Citizen Kane.

Freshman Swimmer Rises To the Top (January 29, 2010)
One of my articles made it to the front page again! This time for the weekend edition:
Freshman swimmer rises to the top
Today is the end of a slow week. The swim team had a week off from competitions, and the gymnastics only had an away meet in Iowa.
But, I've got an exciting assignment for the weekend. Mike Scioscia, the manager for the Los Angeles Angels, is coming to Provo as the keynote speaker for the season kick-off dinner for the minor league team the Orem Owlz. I do love baseball, but to be honest I hadn't heard of him until the assignment came. :S It's one of my lifelong regrets that I haven't been paying as much attention to professional and college sports as does any other male on the planet. But, I'm catching up! I looked up some things and I'm looking forward more and more to meeting Scioscia. It'll be great. (Plus, I get to go to a fancy dinner for free!)
Look for that story on Monday.
