Peoria Chiefs

[Bob Bement]

My niece's boy is pitching, this year, for the Peoria, IL. Chiefs. His mother said he is the starting pitcher on June 29th, and July 4th. Hey Dr. Bruce do you ever attend any games? His name is Nick Struck. He is my oldest brothers, girls, boy.

We manage to get there perhaps twice per season. The vonachens are great bosses/owners.

If we get there, we'll remember and say hi.

Bruce, That would make Nicks day if you would do that. He is a fine young man trying hard to make it to the bigs someday. He is just out of High School and I bet he would like to meet someone that knows his uncle Bob.

Bob, I think knowing his ol' Uncle Bob is a badge of honor.

As an aside Bob that is a great name for a pitcher " Struck"

And he lives up to his name. Last year when he was a Senior in HS. He was pitching in the state baseball championship game. There were a bunch of MLB scouts there to watch the opposing pitcher. Nick's team won the game and he was the MVP of the game. He has done a good job with his present team, too.
