Earlier today, I sat in my office making excuses to myself as to why it was a good idea for me not to go to the gym tonight. The weather sucks, I am tired, I have a sore throat, the gym will be too busy, and so on, and then I got the following email:

“You should know that it is his hard work and effort that got him here.  He was on the bubble to make the team… but several of the guys I had come out to practices to help and evaluate all wanted to see him make it.  If he didn’t make it this year, next year would have been impossible.  The jump to mosquito is a tough one… hoping that he benefits from all the ball he will get this year.  I felt that what he lacks in size and undiscovered talent, would be overcome by his high baseball IQ and his huge heart.  The kid works his ass off!  And that will be contagious to the others all season.”  

That paragraph probably means nothing to you, but it means the world to me…

To find out what prompted that email, you can head over to my blog and read the rest, here! http://berserkertales.wordpress.com/2013/09/30/inspired/
