Almost time to clean the slate

Laguna Hills, CA – We continue to cope with the rare low regional temperatures and realize it is almost time to clean the professional baseball slate once again. Don’t know about all of you, but the Lamb family is always looking forward to baseball. Sure we are spoiled with the beautiful weather that typically allows for twelve months of the game in and around our backyard, but our recent disruptions of cold, wet conditions have not changed checking off the days counting down to Spring training.

The past, present and future of John Lamb playing professional baseball for the Kansas City Royals organization is a welcomed conversation around the household and neighborhood this time of the year. We continue to be extremely grateful for the unique experiences that the Royals have provided our family during the early stages of my son’s baseball career. The family remains optimistic over the future of the Kansas City Royals and ecstatic to have John’s name mentioned over the topic.

For now we will continue to speculate, anticipate and count the days for the official start of the next baseball season. Nothing has been confirmed on his reporting date, at this time, nor of any assignments for the upcoming season.

It brings me tremendous pleasure to share the fact that conversations with John remain extremely humble on the topic of his baseball future. In fact, when he arrived home on the 23rd of December, he revealed his recent knowledge of the Greinke trade. I laughed over the fact he had just heard the news and continued to smile knowing that my son really doesn’t spend much time on the Internet reading about transactions, rumors or opinions about the game of professional baseball.

We will continue to enjoy every minute we have with John and Paige, his girlfriend, until he returns to Surprise, AZ. Holidays provide extra time with family and we have been thrilled with the southpaw’s recent visit home before it’s time to bear down on another full season.
