Longtime readers know that I love baseball. I mean, I LOVE baseball. Sure, I love sports in general and I love football and golf and hockey and lacrosse and auto racing and other sports. But baseball is special to me because it was the only sport I played that I was ever any good at. I was too small for football, too short for basketball, I grew up with golf but didn't play because...well, I'm still not quite sure why, I didn't like soccer much, wrestling couldn't keep my interest, and we didn't have hockey or other more exotic sports around where I grew up.
So anyway, as I said, I love baseball. In all my years of playing and umpiring, I've seen some very interesting things. Every once in a while, though, something else comes along to REALLY amaze you. Baseball is one of those "nothing new under the sun" areas; other people have done this before in baseball history. It is very rare, though, as you might imagine, which makes it even cooler. And it looks like this kid does it pretty well. So I wish him the best...anyway you can get there, man. If I could do something to play in the Big Show, you bet your a** I would.
