Journey to the Majors: A mom’s perspective | indians.com
From Mandy Bell:
Something seemed off.
Daisy Sandlin was on a walk with one of her friends when she realized she had a missed call from her son, Nick. “He never calls me at this time,” she told her friend. She immediately called him back, but he didn’t answer. So, Daisy got a hold of her husband and couldn’t believe what she heard.
It’s the news every parent of a professional baseball player waits to hear, after little Nick Sandlin, who started playing baseball at age 4, had his sights set on one thing: Becoming a big leaguer.
“He didn’t really talk about it,” Daisy said, “but it was, ‘That’s what I want to do. I want to play baseball.’”
And now, his dreams have finally come true.

He masks his frustrations with the power of positivity. Even about Jake Bauers! Also, here’s his quote on a potential offensive upgrade (from Paul Hoynes):
On where Class AAA infielder Owen Miller may play: “We think Owen can contribute at a variety of different positions. The more versatility players have, the more opportunity players have to impact our major league team. . .We see him being capable at all the infield position spots.”
