In 1988, before our Area Code games August in Long Beach, I was assembling the final roster for the Rangers AC team. Josh Beckett of Spring TX had select only the AC games to attend and I promised his pitching on Friday night before 400 Pro Scouts, 30 Scouting Directors and 120 College coaches.
Later that day I received a phone call from Florida. The caller said"this is Bobby Bradley, how do I play in the AC games. I asked Why?
He said, I have the "best curve ball in America". OK, I will pitch you after Beckett on Friday night. The rest is history. Every scout said WOW!!!!
The next draft they both were 1st round draft selections. "Inner arrogance" can not be measured.

so how's this...
Subject 1 throws a great game but with game tied and late innings he walks bases loaded with 2 outs. Coach takes him out and replaces with Subject 2, he's still has his outfield glove on during warmups and coach yells out to him if he wants his other glove, Subject 2 yells back in front of everyone, "Nah coach, I'll only be out here for one hitter." then proceeds to punch him out on 4 pitches.
