I'm so psyched on being a Tribe fan right now. We haven't been off to this good of a start since the 90s and it is great. The only other team with our record is the Rockies leaving us in a tie for the best record in baseball. It's so fun to watch the Tribe play and I've been looking forward to every game, even ones we lose are good games. There's no complete shit baseball going on when the Indians have been on the field and I know it's early, but I can't wait to see how the Indians are doing in a couple months. I'm hoping they're still at top or near the top of their division.
The only negative about baseball lately is the fact that I miss playing like crazy. I played since I was 5 and stopped when I was 18. Played in tournaments all over from Columbus to Cooperstown, New York. After my sophmore year of High School I started gathering notice from colleges, but already had decided I wasn't going to continue playing in college... I wish I did. My sophmore year was the year that I threw my shoulder out and was forced to DH on junior varsity because I wasn't allowed to throw for a full season. The up side was that I hit like .600 and had at least on hit in every game except for one. I cooled off junior year and came back strong my senior year. I still remember my last game, I was one hit away from a cycle. Playing catch and hitting balls today is almost painful because I miss it that much. I went to watch my old team play a couple weeks back and I was regretting not chasing a longer baseball "career." What can you do though? There isn't much, but I have decided that I'm going to join a double A league next year and just get back out on the field and get some more out of me.
