Great parents are often the reason many people go on to have success in their lives, so it’s always nice to see them get much deserved recognition.
For athletes, it’s often impossible to make it where they have without the support of their parents.
Athletic costs climb every year and the amount of time organized sports consume is overwhelming for parents who also have other work to do. But, that doesn’t go unnoticed for most kids. Kids like White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson who made the team out of Spring for the first time in his career this season.
Despite this being the first time Anderson made the Major League team out of spring, it wasn't much of a suprise. He had a stellar rookie season and recently signed a new six-year, $25 million contract. However, it was a surprise for his mom to see the brand new car her son bought her.
Apparently Anderson wasn’t able to be there when she received the vehicle because he’s still in Spring Training, but he was able to Facetime with his family as his mother first saw her brand new vehicle. He told the Chicago Tribune that she was “Dancing and excited” when she received the new Mercedes.
Anderson is probably feeling a similar way to start the White Sox season. They are an interesting team this season, as they kind of tore down their roster, but have several young, elite talents that could help them turn things around quickly. Anderson will hope to be eating a lot of Spaghetti this season.
