Played on a pretty decent baseball team. We were good but short on starting pitchers.
Our starting team was all seniors, 6 out of 9 pretty much knew each other from birth, I got to know them starting in second grade. All to this day real stan up guys.
I am still in touch with all of them.
Our coach played for the Twins for a few years, he was and still is a god, we loved him.
I lead the state that year in OF Assists.
First round of playoffs a kid decided to test me on a medium fly ball to right. He was on second, tagged and took off for third. It wasn't close, got him by at least a step and a half or 2.
Billy Ripken was not that fast.
