Danny Almonte, But Not Really
I didn’t have a whole lot of success in little league. I could field all right but I couldn’t hit a curve. Or a fastball. Or a changeup which is really what most of the pitchers were throwing back then anyway. Turns out I might have been going at the thing all wrong, though. See, if I would have started a couple years after everyone else but started at the beginning, I might have had a chance. Kind of like Julious Threatts.
Man, as a 14-year old hitting against 7-year olds, I could have cleaned up! Just imagine. Twice their age, probably almost double their size. It would have been like this:
Or maybe like this:
Either way, it would have been awesome. At least until a 17-year old joined up.
Happy Friday and happy Labor Day weekend.
