Reply to "Walking On"

My sons D1 team has a bullpen catcher who walked on in the fall of 2004. He's still there, no scholly, little if any game time, but is a great kid, he understands his role, is always prepared, supports his team regardless of pt, and is respected by his teammates and coaches.

It takes a special type person to walk-on. IMHO every team should have 1 walk-on as the "rabbit", because they beat the odds and usually display mental intangibles that the other players did not have to face. Some great team and individual qualitities can be learned by this type player.
