I thought finally a place where I can stick around and make an impact. I went through the same old thing my Freshman year, got onto the field on ST. Sophmore year, starting line up. Junior year, looking good! Senior year, injured during two a days and did not recover till mid season. Lost my starting job to a douche who's parents were heavily involved in politics and the school board. I am not saying that I would have went pro or anything, but I know that I was good enough to play some level of college ball. Well, that never happend because I joined the Army shortly after graduation. It still chaps my ass to this day, because I worked so hard those 4 years, only to see everything I worked hard for get taken away. Primarily because I wasn't one of the "coaches boys".

That describes this kid's parents to a T. During baseball season, his dad was bringing over thousands of dollars worth of lawn care equipment for the coaches to use on the baseball field.

That bastard didn't even try out for the team until his senior year. He was a male cheerleader with a popped collar. He was slow, couldn't catch and cried like a bitch every time he got hit. Still he never got benched until the State Championship quarter finals during half time. We were down 47 to 7. I got the call the second half and we still lost 47 to 7. But the point was that it was a little too late to give me my job back when I hadn't played the entire year. The damn coach should have gave me my damn job back as soon as I was healthy. Not that it was worth much then, but both the HC and the WR coach appologized to me after graduation. "We should have played you earlier in the year". That statement only reinforced my pre-conceived theory, that it was a bunch of political bullshit.
