A few days ago, Albert Pujols' phone buzzed. He'd been sent a photo. He tapped the phone and there was Champ Pederson, Joc's oldest brother. Champ was holding up a jersey – Los Angeles Angels, No. 5, PUJOLS across the back, signed by Pujols himself – and wearing a great big smile.
Pujols had met the young man about a week before at a screening for a movie called "Where Hope Grows." It's about baseball, but mostly it's about Down syndrome.

Very cool.
Many here know I have a daughter with DS and I can't tell you how blessed I feel with her around. She really adds a lot to the family. The only quibble I have with the article is I don't think Children with DS are more work, just different work.
Red Sox placed RHP Joe Kelly on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to March 27, with right biceps tightness.
The Red Sox hope that he'll be ready to go when they first need a fifth starter on April 11. Kelly threw 65 pitches in a minor league game on Wednesday without any known after effects, so it's reasonable to think he should be ready for a major league contest in a little over a week.
