of all the odd things that happen on our left coast this one isn't even on the radar screen for being important.
Isn’t that the truth ?!
I haven’t spoken with a college baseball fan on the east coast who knows of Luke Heimlich. The only person who knew is a college baseball coach. I don’t believe I ever heard the story away from this site.
That is an incredibly naive point of view. This story is well known by everyone in the baseball circles and by many outside of it - from coast to coast.
I’ve noticed in this thread you’re quick on the draw with the direct insult of posters. In a previous post I stated the story is known in baseball circles. The average baseball fan doesn’t follow college baseball. It’s not like Luke Heimlich is coast to coast front page news. I follow college baseball (mostly Big Ten, ACC, SEC and a local ranked D3). I didn’t see Heimlich’s name anywhere from last year’s draft through this year’s draft (I don’t read everything) until an article just before the draft.
Stating that your point of view was naïve was not an insult. It was an observation. The casual baseball fans that I know are aware of the story AND they also follow college baseball. The story has been well covered - as other posters have pointed out. I have noticed that you are quick to cry foul anytime one of your posts is not accepted as gospel.
