CVN wins the Pony World Series

Last Spring Daniel was on the Chula Vista North Pony team. Pony is for 12-14 year olds. Basically, it is for the middle school age kids. It is very competitive and a lot of fun!! They had a great year; They won the Chula Vista District, Region and then went on to win the Pony World Series in Fullerton, Ca. It is a big deal...not as big as the Little League World Series, but a big deal!! The team got to be on the news, in the Union Tribune, were honored by the Chula Vista City Mayor and also by the San Diego Mayor.

There is a local newspaper called the Star News. It is a paper for the Chula Vista/ Bonita area. They did a big article in the paper about the Chula Vista North Pony team and unknown to us, Daniel was the player chosen to be on the cover of the paper. We were sooo surprised and what an exciting thing for Daniel. One other neat thing they got to do was go to a San Diego Padres game and do a meet and greet with some of the players. Daniel took an all-white Padres hat and got quite a few player autographs. Their accomplishment was announced and honored in a pre-game announcement and the boys and coaches got to be down on the field for it. The Padres gave tickets to all of the boys and their entire families for the game! It was a lot of fun!

When Patrick played for the Chula VIsta North Pony team they also got to go to the World Series. His team didn't win, they took third. But it was SO fun and also a great experience for Patrick. Daniel was one of 2 sets of brothers who had both gone to the Pony World Series. They even mentioned it in the Star Newspaper article. Who knows...maybe Michael will go when he plays for CVN...that would be really cool!!
