Dear God, Thank You for making Tim Anderson
(CHICAGO) Ten-year-old Catholic school student, Danny Saracini, came home from one of his first days of school with an important homework assignment. He was asked to write down the things he was most thankful for and from those items create a prayer.
Having back-to-school writer’s block, he was frustrated and defeated. His mom, Jane, suggested, “Danny, why don’t you just write about baseball?”
Danny did just that.
Jane got a kick out of the prayer and sent it over to WLS-AM to show Ed Farmer and White Sox player, Tim Anderson.
Well, we did more than that. We brought Danny and his family to the ballpark for a little meet-and-greet!
Little did we know, Jane and Jim Saracini were actually married at the Stadium Club 15 years ago!
The Saracini Family meets Tim Anderson
