Fireside with MLB Player Jeremie Guthrie

Randy has been running his website LatterDaySports.com for a couple of years. In those couple of years, he's developed relationships with a lot of people in the business of sports. One of the people he's gotten to know via Twitter is Jeremy Guthrie, who is the starting pitcher for the Kansas City Royals. The KSC have their spring training here in Surprise, AZ.

Because Randy knew that Jeremy would be here for a couple months for training, he invited Jeremy to do a fireside for the youth of our stake. Jeremy was more than happy to do it. 

Tonight was the fireside. He did an awesome job. We heard a lot of great comments of how great a fireside it was. It was cool to see him interacting with the kids afterwards and to also see how starstruck some of the kids were. 

It was very cool. 

I won't lie, it also felt cool to be the ones responsible for organizing it. 

We got to talk with Jeremy afterwards and the kids got to meet him. He reminded me of a grown up version of Micah. In fact, while we were talking to him, he pointed at Micah and said, "I used to look just like you when I was a kid." 

It was a great evening. If you ever get a chance to hear Jeremy Guthrie speak, make sure you don't miss it.
