(almost) SIBLING PRIDE

WHO:
Jeff "Derd" Stoeckel
Harvard Baseball
Sophomore SS

WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT HIM:
Named to the Ivy League Honor Roll March 27 after batting .444 (4-9) with a .500 on-base-percentage in three games for the Crimson while playing errorless defense at shortstop. He was 3-for-3 with a walk, RBI and three runs scored against Northwestern ... Was on base three times with a single and two walks at Eckerd on 3/26

FACTS OF LIFE:
When you grow up with your best friends, you also grow up with their siblings.
Sightings of the siblings, also known as 'little ones', occur often.
Such as:
When you pick up friend to go to the beach.
When you attend slumber party at friends house.
When you and friend are supposed to study but watch the Titanic win 75 Oscars instead.
And of course there are guaranteed sightings at family required events such as
Prom(s)
Recital(s)
Graduation(s)
Holiday(s)
and yet to be had by anyone in the Stoeckel/Simons family
Wedding(s). (Ahem.. Luke?)

Then one day, you wake up and get a smack in the face. Suddenly the 'little guy' ain't so little anymore. The kid who ran past you and out the door when you'd come over to chill with his big sister, is standing at 5'11" and making waves in college baseball. I am looking up ... just to look at him.

MAD PROPS:
Here's to one of the 'little ones' ... Way to go Derd!
