Journal entry 40: April 2nd

.

Today was my 17th birthday. I celebrated by winning our third straight game against the Braves. I played in the outfield, no hits but I did a sacrifce bunt, helped us score. My mom called to wish me a happy birthday. She watched the game on tv, called immediately after. She asked what time it was in New Jersey, she didn't realize that New Jersey and Michigan are in the same time zone. I had cake with a few friends on the team after the game. It was partly a birthday celebration, partly a victory for winning the game. Babe Ruth says any occasion is good for cake. His new wife, Taylor Swift, wants to put him on a diet, but I don't see that happenning anytime soon. Besides, he hit a home run today, so his methods seem to be working.
