With opening day nearing and the show in full swing, I got to thinking about my baseball career and my life in general. I focused in on what was easily the best and most memorable summer of my life. I was 16 years old and the batboy for the Baltimore Orioles during the 1997 season, yup the wire to wire season. It was everything you would think it would be and more. My locker was two down from Cal Ripken Jr. (obviously my favorite player and idol). Throughout the spring and summer my plan is to update this blog with stories from that season as they come to me.
