I am from an amazing place. I am from a place where there is freshly cut grass and the smell of hotdogs is in the air. I am from a place where there in constant chants coming from the crowd. I am from a place where the sweetest sound is the crack of the bat against the ball. I am from a place where the dirt is as smooth as a babies bottom. I am from the diamond.
I am from a place where hard work and dedication is needed. I am from a place where there is no off season. I am from a place where you must push your body to its limit.You must sweat and you must work out until your body feels dead. To where your arms feel as if they will fall off. I come from a place where you must be mentally enabled. Mentally enabled to make plays without choking.
I come from a place where I will make the number 6 known like Jackie Robinson's "#42." I am from the diamond.
