Well, they don't offer Baseball 101
Like most of the rest of my graduating class, I got accepted into the University of Florida. So, I had to get a bunch of scholarship things taken care of yesterday as to facilitate my ability to attend.
I had to call the office of Chuck Murphy (president of the Florida State Baseball League) yesterday to see what I needed to do to get my scholarship check from the mascot gig this summer, and I got the information from his secretary.
I said goodbye, but this lady would just not stop talking. I don’t know if she felt that she had to make conversation with me to be nice or what, but this lady talked to me about everything there is to be talked about. Baseball, college, my career path, everything.
And I think that she was genuinely offended when I told her that my major is probably going to be political science.
“That doesn’t have anything to do with baseball!”
Listen lady: I’m a 5’6″, 140 pound IB student with absolutely no physical prowess. Plus, I’m a football man. And heck, there’s no money in baseball anyway.
About 10 minutes later, I was finally able to coerce her into hanging up the phone, but not until after I had spilled my life story to this complete stranger.
The holidays do some crazy things to people.

U stink… Baseball has a lot of money in it. It is AMERICA’S PASTIME. I mean, BASEBALL AND APPLE PIE, how more American is that? It is a great sport that requires little athletic prowess, unless you undergo intense conditioning like we do at PHU. So THERE!
You were a mascot in the FSL over summer?
