A Revs' high five

During a low-key scrimmage against the Road Warriors Thursday, York Revolution newcomer Jason Botts brought along a visitor to the dugout.


Twenty month old Lincoln Botts joined Dad (right), meeting most of the team, including Corey Thurman.

Jason (6-6, 245 pounds) played for the Texas Rangers (he has a home in Fort Worth) from  2005 to 2008. According to Wikipedia, "on March 26, 2011, Botts signed a minor league contract with the Colorado Rockies, and was released from his minor league contract on April 7, 2011."

Jason's wife and Lincoln travel with him during the season. "We're in this together," he says.

BTW, during the season's first scrimmage of the year, the first Road Ranger batter blasted the very first pitch over the left center field wall.
