Chicago Cubs and Driftwoods Subdivision Kenner LA "What do they Have in Common"

This past weekend my family and I made our annual trip to Houston Texas to see the Cubs vs. Astros. This trip had some special meaning. This was our first trip to Houston for an Astros since Hurricane Katrina. Second we were hoping to see a new Chicago Cub in action Chad Gaudin. We not only saw Chad throw some 90 plus mph (sliders or fast balls) but spoke to him for about 5 minutes pre game. We personally do not know Chad. Our common thread was being from the same home town, Kenner LA. We do know several young men who play with him the Kenner Rec League in Kenner LA. He spoke of the time when he lived in Kenner. He also spoke of this childhood time living on Granada Dr. in Driftwood Subdivision.  Chad played at Galatas playground which is located in Driftwood Subdivision. Unfortunately Cubs and Chad lost that night. Just so you know Chad face 5 players that night and struck out 3.

Our next trip is to Chicago for Labor Day Weekend. Hopefully we will see a win at Wrigley Field.

Nice interview to cap your fun. Hope if you have a blog on Driftwood Subdivision you include Chad's recollections.
