Knucklebook

Three weeks to go before spring training starts. Im getting more excited and im about to start going up to the high school where my old high school coach coaches. This way i can start throwing bullpens and getting to where my arm is in good shape for when i show up to camp. I also am not much of a reader but am starting to take it up a little bit here lately. I found a book called The Knucklebook which is about the knuckleball and im able to read some things that may help me out. Since nobody can really coach the knuckleball except people who have thrown it a lot and have experience, this book gives me some good insight on the pitch that by statistics 2% of professional baseball players throw. There are only about 5 or 6 of us in all of professional baseball which i think is pretty cool because it is something unique. And the more i learn about the pitch the better off i am and will have the best chance for success.

Savannah's birthday is coming up next friday and she is very excited. She is having a slumber party here with her friends and I cant wait haha. Anything for my little girl though. I cant believe she is growing up so fast. She is not excited about me having to go back and play baseball but she is excited about when she gets to come visit. Many people will be missed while i am gone playing ball but i will keep all of you informed on here about what is going on.
