Coach May posted: I was talking to a former ml player last hs season before one of my games. We were talking about players and the whole process of making it to the "show". He said this "Some guys are not sure if they belong in the show or not. The ones that make it know they belong."

My son took a few lessons after a minor injury in high school, to check mechanics. He was dragging his arm. His instructor was an experienced successful Reds Area scout/ former Reds MiBL coach/ former local HS coach. One of his high school players was Joe Oliver, a catcher for the Reds. One time he asked Joe "What was the difference sticking in the Show?" Joe said, "Knowing I belonged."
