As a kid I got to throw out the opening pitch to a Cubs game. At the time I was in 3rd grade and playing the highest level ball offered in our area. Played until I has in a car accident that messed up my knees just before high school. Played ball with a couple guys that got drafted straight out of high school and was every bit as good as them, but one idiot that wasn't paying attention ended all that for me.
BTW, came over as @codypanama was talking about you as we were chatting in the comments of one of his posts. Been chatting with him for months now. Anyways adding you to my follow list.
