Helms Family Trip to RoughRiders Game - Jake Thompson and Joey Gallo

Last week we went to see the RoughRiders play at Dr. Pepper Ballpark in Frisco, Texas.  The RoughRiders are the AA farm team of the Texas Rangers.  We went to see Jake Thompson pitch.  Jake graduated from Heath High School (where our kids go) 2 years ago and was formerly with the Tigers organization.   Recently the Rangers traded for Jake and he now plays in Frisco.  This was his second start in Frisco.  Jake pitched terrific with 8 strikeouts over 4 innings giving up only 1 run.   He is now a top Rangers pitching prospect.  

We also went to see the Rangers new wonder kid - Joey Gallo.  Joey has crazy power and is considered one of the top prospects in all of the minor leagues. Gallo looks to be a big star someday.
