With New Year’s Day having come and gone, two things have occurred. One, the holiday season is over; and two, baseball season is just around the corner! It’s certainly an exciting time here at MSI: our pro pitchers are continuing to dial in their stuff on the mound, college guys are building up [...]
Hopefully, most of you know who Nick Saban is…Head Football Coach of Alabama University who are an absolute powerhouse football program to say the least. Now love him or hate him, he has proven to win and win a lot. He has also proven to constistently provide us with great quotes. [...]
Why do you go to Wawa so much? Because it’s convenient! It’s a one stop shop. Get some gas, a bite to eat, and your afternoon coffee. How can you beat that? Unfortunately, reaching any goal that’s truly special, like playing college baseball (6.8% of HS baseball players GET [...]

I took a weekend off! I was in Austin, Texas for one of my best friend’s bachelor party’s (in fact I’m actually writing this on the plane ride home). How did I meet him you ask? I played college baseball with him from 2004-2008. We were both freshman on the team and lived [...]
