I could feel the crunching of dirt from my cleats as I trotted out to my usual position of second base. I fielded the ground balls thrown by our first basemen and heard the classic yelling of, “Coming down!” from our catcher as he threw the ball down to me covering second base. We threw the ball around…

I missed terribly, and my coaches thought so, too. “C’mon Matt, that was practically in the dirt, what are you swinging at?” I thought back to the first pitch and the chants that followed it, “Good eye, Matt” and “Way to watch the ball come in, Matty Boy.” I couldn’t help but think of all the irony surrounding these comments.
