Mm

... before you swing the bat.
8:12
That's, that's uncalled for.
8:14
That's just unseen.
8:16
And me, I still remember this play.
8:19
We was playing the playoffs, it was against, uh ...
8:21
No, it was, think it was the last series of the year, and we was playing against, um, um, we was playing against the Braves.
8:49
[laughs]
15:26
Hmm.
15:26
So I took that and put that on my shoulder as saying they're, they're, they're looking up for me to start the process, because like we was talking about earlier, you get them early and often.
15:36
You get, you know, you get some, you get to score some runs early.
15:39
So I felt like that was my job.
15:41
My job was to take as many pitches, get on base any way I can.

15:53
People don't do that no more.

"Who is, what, what's going on?"
46:17
They w- exactly.
46:18
But again, they knew that I wasn't a threat because this is my junior year, I'm gonna be playing basketball again.
46:24
So they, you know, just, "Oh, he's out here just working out," and whatever.
46:27
I think I did some JV games or whatever, but for the University of Arizona basketball player on the thing, they, they suited me up for varsity a couple times and ended up getting in a bat and that was kinda it.
46:39
And then came up, the guy, Clark Crist, ended up finally getting in touch with me.
46:45
He go into Babcock where we were staying in the, the dorm or whatever and trying to find me.
