I found this old baseball team photo the other day. I used to love playing baseball at Wills Park, until this particular year. The coaches were lousy, and one of my teammates (who happened to go on to have a career as a relief pitcher for the Cubs, Braves, and Yankees), was a jerk. His name is Kyle Farnsworth and he is pictured in the top right row behind me. At this stage in youth baseball, throwing an 80 MPH fastball was all you needed to be the best pitcher in the league. Kyle threw it, and nobody could hit it. In fact, most people were scared of it. He didn't evolve much as a pitcher as he went on to high school and then off to the Cubs. He threw fast, but was no match mentally for MLB batters or even for news reporters for that matter.
I am pretty sure you are giving the photographer the look of death.....
ReplyDeleteHe is a jerk! A seven year old girl that was with us at the ball field asked him to sign her ball and he told her no! Screw him!
