I was in the postseason twice and I'm thankful for that.
When did it - When did it become okay for someone to hit home runs and forget how to play the rest of the game?
I've always had that attitude that things happen for a reason.
I had too much respect for the game to leave it behind or to make it my second or third sport in college.
If this validates anything, it's that learning how to bunt and hit and run and turning two is more important than knowing where to find the little red light at the dug out camera.
I played it right because that's what you're supposed to do - play it right and with respect.
Hit a home run - put your head down, drop the bat, run around the bases, because the name on the front is more - a lot more important than the name on the back.
My mom was at every single game I played as a kid, rain or shine.
