Thank you baseball. Words can’t express what I feel right now, to become so attached to a sport that I only started playing 4 years ago, I don’t know how it happened. All the pieces just kind of fell in place, then all of a sudden I was a baseball player. A really bad one at the time, but there was something about it I couldn’t find anywhere else. See baseball is a lot less athleticism and a lot more skill, it’s a sport where you will fail majorly more than you succeed, especially as a hitter. Baseball taught me how to deal with life when it sucker punches you in the nose and then kicks you on the ground. When you feel like everything’s crashing down, the sun rises again tomorrow. My goal my entire time of playing was to play college ball, unfortunately I couldn’t make the cut. It’s easy to say “what if I had _ more years” and I hear it all the time about if I “would’ve just kept playing as a kid,” but I think it was just right. It gave me a chip on my shoulder that lit a fire in me making the competitive, go-getter, tooth & nail fightin’ me that I know today. Gods plan for me doesn’t end anywhere near here, the game of baseball was just a life lesson. Even the pros have to hang it up at some point, it’s just a hard goodbye. To all my brothers playing college ball, enjoy it. I’d love more than anything to have the opportunity that you do, don’t let it go by too fast. To the people who have supported me in my career, I can’t thank you enough. Even just showing up to my games for me to pinch hit or pinch run means more than you could know. I just hope the next person who wears 8 brings the same grit and energy that I brought, can’t be tarnishing the 8car family name. (@graysonchapman) I won’t be settling down anytime soon either, I’ll find something wether that’s pickleball, mma, or golf, you’ll find me doing something somewhere. I love y’all endlessly, call me if you need me #8out #goredhawks
