The overriding thing has to be a love for people. If you don't love people, you don't care if we live in a morally degrading society. Christ is about love, and that's what we want to be about as well.

Agile, athletic, sleek-all these things describe my game!

I've always liked doubles. When you scald the ball on a line to the gap, I think that's about as close to a perfect swing as you can get.

They were chanting my name, but I don't know why. My name is on the back of my uniform. So, it's nice to know they can read.

God has given me a lot of ability to play the game of baseball.

Living the Christian life is also challenging but for different reasons. The same desire to do well exists - to live a consistent life that honors and pleases the Lord. The big difference is that God isn't evaluating my actions and basing His love on how well I 'perform'. His love for me is unconditional. Even when I mess up He doesn't threaten to trade me off His team.

Theres a little more margin for error this year. Last year, it felt like we had to win every game. That wasnt a lot of fun.
