Adrian Anantawan: You should have seen him play baseball!

This young man is supremely gifted. It was apparent early on when we first heard him play.

He and my twin sons, Andrew and Court went through grade school at St. Christopher's in Clarkson together. All three played on the same baseball team. He was very, very good at first base.

My strongest memory Adrian was his optimism. And his infectious smile. He never made excuses, never made a fuss. He just ran out on the field with the same enthusiasm and great big smile for every practice and every game. He was glad to be playing with his friends.

I haven't seen Adrian in years. I have followed his amazing career. He is an inspiration.
