September 1, 201511 yr I talked to Luke's dad Rich this morning. Said it was a mob scene in the Durham lockerroom when Luke found out. Family is hitting the road for Baltimore and NYC. Luke has been added to the 40-man roster as well. I thought he might have to wait until Durham's season ended but they decided to pull him up immediately. Very exciting for Luke and the family.
September 1, 201511 yr Congrats to Luke and family! Love to see people from NKY on a National Stage. Big time.
