I had an awesome opportunity to photograph the Arizona Diamondbacks interact with the kids at the Boys & Girls Club of the East Valley.  One of my friends from grade school, Bruce Hutchinson, invited me to come along and join in on the fun.  What a great time.  Great facility with a gorgeous view and the lovely Diamondbacks to top it off.  The coaches showed the kids how to bat and catch a ball and the players were inside playing Rock Band, hanging out at the batters cage and getting their butt kicked at some Pool in the recreation room.    A.J. Hinch, Ian Kennedy, Miguel Montero, Mark Reynolds, & Daron Sutton were a few of the Dbacks that showed up for the meet and greet.  What a fabulous time.  Thanks Bruce for such an awesome experience!!!  Check his club out folks.  Here is some great information he provided about it.
