    Cook & Son Bats' Blog: Tim's MLB Debut (9/12/06) Page 1 of 15 Cook & Son Bats' Blog Todd, Tim and Kellan Cook love Baseball, the Seattle Mariners and trekking around the country to visit stadiums and watch games. These are their stories. Tim's MLB Debut (9/12/06) ABOUT COOKANDSONBATS Welcome to my first "turn-back-the-clock" game entry. When I took Tim to his first game back in 2006, I didn't even know MLBlogs existed. Tim and I went to about 20 games or so between 2006-2008 and I plan to tell those stories this off-season. This is the first. When I found out toward the end of the 2005 baseball season that our first (and so far only) child due to be born in early 2006 was going to be a boy, I got really excited about the idea of having a little baseball partner. I was looking forward to playing catch in the yard and teaching my son how to hit. And I was really excited to have a little partner with whom to go to MLB games and, hopefully, to love the Mariners as much as I do. Tim was born in January 2006. I decided I wanted his first game to be a Mariners home game and I wanted it to be late in the season so he Read about me would be at least six months old...so he could at least somewhat "experience" the experience, not just "be there." I picked Tuesday, RECENT ENTRIES September 12, 2006 as the big day.

    ANNOUNCING THE 2019 SPEAKER LINEUP FOR THE CINCINNATI MEN’S CONFERENCE The Cincinnati Men’s Conference will be held at St. Maximilian Kolbe Parish on June 15, 2019: A perfect half-day bonding experience for fathers and sons on Father’s Day weekend. This year’s theme is Being A Family Man. Early Bird ticket specials available now, which make the perfect gift for Dad this year. This year’s speakers are: Matt Birk, Super Bowl Champ Matt lived out his faith during his football career. Matt was recognized for his community service work by winning the prestigious Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year Award in 2011. Upon winning the Super Bowl in 2013, Matt declined an invitation to go the White House, citing then President Barack Obama’s support for Planned Parenthood as the reason. Matt strives to not only talk about the Faith, but live it as well. Matt has 8 children and will be sharing his stories on family, sports, work / life balance and the incident that caught national attention when he courageously stood up for the Pro-Life movement and publicly declined Obama’s invitation to the White House to take a stand against abortion and Planned Parenthood. Coach Rich Donnelly, Major League Baseball Coach Coach Rich Donnelly coached in the Major Leagues for over 25 years, most recently as the third base coach for the Seattle Mariners.
