The end of an era has finally came. I wouldn’t recommend running full speed into a football post, doesn’t feel too good. Anyways, words truly can’t describe the amount of love I have for this game and the people I’ve met playing it. From tee ball to my junior year of college, I couldn’t imagine what my life would have been like without baseball. I’ll never forget all the great memories and lifelong friends I’ve made from the U, North Carolina, to the middle of nowhere in Kansas, and now here in Rolla. I can’t thank all of my teammates, friends, family, and coaches enough for all they’ve done for me throughout this journey. Especially my mom for the many sacrifices and long drives she has made for me to play the great game of baseball. Unfortunately, all great things come to an end and after lots of thought and prayers, I’ve decided to hang the cleats up.
