Siddall selection by A's an emotional moment
Brett Siddall was selected in the 13th round by the Oakland A's on Wednesday. (Thomas Wolfe Imaging)It was a warm Wednesday afternoon in Windsor.
It was a relaxing time to kick up and relax with the family kind of day. Mother and father were in the family room like thousands of other living rooms across North America.
Their two daughters and son were there, as well as an uncle who had stopped by.
They were listening to the quiet monotone emanating from the son’s laptop and then the silence of the Bruce Ave., household was broken.
