The thing I miss most about baseball?

Putting in the work when nobody else was around.

In high school our team did no fall conditioning work (winter we did conditioning to prepare for the season). Not good enough. So I forced our *basketball* coach to let me condition with his team 3 days a week... at 5 AM.

There’s a reason I got that D1 scholly

Hitting in my friends backyard cage till the lights came on and I needed new gloves cuz they were red with blood.

Hopping the fence with my dad on Easter to take 100s of ground balls. Then doing it again on Thanksgivng, Christmas, New Years year after year.

Tbh I’ve never wanted anything as bad as since wanted to play D1 baseball. Haven’t worked that hard for anything since either. It’s time to bring that identity back.
