In the Local News--The Clipper

Fame and Fortune for the Boy Next Door (well, across the street)! Braeden Schlehuber (or in the words of Mrs. Crabtree, Braeden Shloo-ber), was chosen as the 130th pick (4th round) of the Major League Baseball draft by the Atlanta Braves!!! No surprise to us. It said in the article that he had been dreaming of the moment since he first held a baseball and that the Braves had been his favorite team since he was a kid. He has played at the College of Southern Nevada in Las Vegas during the last 2 years and had a scholarship offer at the University of Arkansas. But he won't be going there. He started his professional career today at the Brave's training camp in Orlando, FL. He is a catcher. Here's the final sentence from the article: Schlehuber's father, Kent, may have summed it up best: "Other than my wedding day and days when my two sons were born, this is the proudest moment of my life."



Hooray for Rich and Nada!
