Last night I attended the Florida State League Hall of Fame inaugural induction ceremony dinner at the Plaza Resort and Spa in Daytona Beach, FL. As one of the photographers for the FSL I was asked by league President Chuck Murphy if I could document the evening. I was more than happy and honored to do it for Mr. Murphy. I also wanted to do it for the other league photographer Jerry Hale who has been shooting for the FSL for the past five seasons. So I asked him if he would like to take the evening off and enjoy the festivities.

At the dinner were four former and current MLB umpires and Hall of Fame Catcher Gary Carter. What a pleasure it was meeting Gary Carter, he is truly a class act and it is clear that he has a love for the game that he played for 18 seasons.

There is no doubt that I will not forget about this experience the stories alone that I had the chance to hear last were priceless.
