Logan Gilbert will appear in his first MLB All-Star Game next week. The Seattle Mariners pitcher has made 18 starts this season and has pitched the third-most innings in baseball while recording the 12th-lowest ERA and third-lowest WHIP. He is very deserving of the honor, but it was still exciting to get the news, which he quickly shared with his parents who were hanging out by the pool when he called.
Mom answered the phone while dad was "enjoying a strawberry daiquiri." Gilbert asked if they would be available next week to join him in Texas and the tears started flowing.
