The number "7" goes back a long way in this family as far as sports. Bob had this number in high school and college - for baseball. Once we were married and he got into playing softball, he always took the number "7" for his jersey.
When they were little, our kids would always get excited when they would get number "7" for their summer little league jerseys. "Look Dad - number "7" - just like you".
Carrie was the first to carry on the tradition in high school when she played softball for the Lions. She was so proud to wear that number - just like her dad. When it was time for the twins to play - Katie got the "7" and Colleen doubled it to "14". Two years later, Chrissie wore good old number "7" as the LaSalle Lions program came to an end.

Kevin went to Clay and much to the despair of his older siblings - proudly wore the purple and gold and even as a freshman, he got his hands on the infamous number "7" for baseball.
Last night, Kelli came home from softball practice - following a week of tryouts and cuts. She survived the cuts and walked in the door beaming - holding up her new jersey - you guessed it - number "7".
You'd better make us proud Kelli - the pressure of the family and the history of the number "7" is riding on your shoulders!!
