Andy Scheffler is one proud grandpa!  His grandson, Matt (son of Mike and Jodi) is a catcher for the Auburn Tigers and they are on their way to the NCAA College World Series! Many Scheffler family members will certainly be in the stands at the TD Ameritrade Park in Omaha, Nebraska when the series begins on June 15.  Matt’s parents, Mike & Jodi Scheffler, live in Kirkland, WA and have other baseball ties.  Son Tom is on the roster for Old Dominion and another son Joseph is still in high school.  Lots of baseball in the Scheffler family!!  Good luck, Matt!
