Having him around is so much fun. He knows exactly how to help you, no matter what you are struggling with. He's an amazing coach. When dad speaks, everybody listens.

About all I know is that his name is up on the center field fence in Carson. That's pretty cool.

I don't even know his real name. I just call him 'Dad.' That's what everybody calls him. My dad is around the team a lot, too. But he (Gamble) is definitely the team dad.

It boosted us. That's when the fun really began.

I was really tired at the end, having to bring the ball up every time. It was fun, though.

We grew a lot closer as good friends. We've had a lot of fun together. We've both improved a lot since our freshman year. We're hoping to go out to state and have our best meet.
