Cracks me up that you play baseball too and you can't even spell one of the positions remotely correct.

Congrats to your friend, maybe one day they will put a "picture" of him "pitching" on a baseball card.

That is pretty awesome, just remember very few can make a living out of sports.

are you kidding me? I think if you are going pro into basically any major sport, you are going to be making quite a bit of money! IDK where your from but here they do.

I think he means that there isn't a lot of people that are good enough to actually make a living off of a sport.

im from a little town in the upper penninsula of michigan and my best friend is a jr. in high school. He holds every home run record in school history and has been on varsity since he was in 8th grade. He hits about 1 or 2 home runs a game in 1 of the bigger ball parks in michigan. I think he is going to msu on a full ride scholarship, and he is dumb as a rock, i told him he is buying me the best quad available when he is making millions in the MLB, but if any of you has heard of kevin tapani, he went to our high school and played for the twins, he was a pitcher.

My cousin broke the high school home run record in Alabama a few years ago. He played college ball for a few years and i dont know what he is up to now. I think he plays AAA ball.

watching farm team baseball is so much more fun than pro baseball. Pro baseball players are the laziest people on the Earth! haha thats cool though. A girl that graduated from my school last year is one of the starting Pitchers for the Michigan Softball team and they just won the championship. Pretty cool

my friends brother is a left handed pitcher and plays farm league for seattle. His name is Ryan Feirabend and just graduated. It stinks because we can get free tickets but they are all the way across the US lol
