I shot and edited this video over a weekend in September 2006. It stars my son Alex, as the “little boy” that Kenny Rogers sings about in his song “The Greatest”…..BTW….Alex is wearing the uniform of his little league team, the Phillies. They went undefeated that year and won the championship…Woo-hoo!! It was his first year of playing ball.
