Greetings from the USC Gamecocks...

Ms. Hilldrup and Nick:

Flat Stanley has had a great time while he was in Columbia, South Carolina.  He spent most of his time at Carolina Stadium, where our National Championship baseball team plays!

Flat Stanley started his day in the weight room.  He took turns with the baseball players doing different exercises being instructed by the strength and conditioning coach.

Next, Flat Stanley went down to the field for batting practice.  He helped the coaches throw batting practice to help the team get warmed up.

After batting practice, Flat Stanley was ready to take the mound.  He was able to pitch a couple of fast balls but his slider was by far the best.  He struck out a couple of big hitters!

Flat Stanley worked up an appetite and stopped by the Oriental Kitchen stand on the way out of practice.  He had the chicken fried rice!

Flat Stanley’s favorite part of his stay with jumping on the National Championship dog pile when he was leaving the stadium.  He did say he felt a little overdressed.

Thanks for letting Flat Stanley come stay with us in Columbia, SC!
