True LoveS

I am one of the few little boys that got to grow up and live the dream of being a professional baseball player. Well I figure that most little boys dream of playing in the big leagues which is a place I have never been but I have been very close and I am still getting the opportunity so that isnt too bad. I am currently in my ninth year playing professionally and still trying to get to the big leagues. As I will be until they take the jersey off me I guess. Its funny that I love to play baseball so much but I have always told people that the best thing about playing professional baseball is the fact that the season is in the summer and I get to hunt all winter long! Im not sure what that means as far as my true love but I know that I am a very lucky man that I dont have to choose one over the other.
I am currently in Phoenix, AZ and it is 105 degrees outside and I cannot tell you how much I am already looking forward to Sept 15th so that I can drive into MO and climb up in a tree. I hate to wish my life away because I am thankful for every day I get on this earth but it is just a burning desire inside of me that doesnt go away. The sad part is that I hadnt even got all my hunting stuff packed up and put away yet at the end of last season, and I was already wishing that I could just get it back out and start again. Its something that I cant fully explain but its something that I cant do without. Its something that alot of you that are on this site know all too well and a feeling that you love just as much as I do.
I am looking forward to the rest of the season and seeing if I can improve and eventually acheive my goals of playing in the big leagues, but one thing is for sure. I may never make it to the big leagues but every time I climb up in a tree I will have a chance to bag that buck of a lifetime.
