I just shared this with my son. He sounds like a really good kid that has been through a whirlwind in the last couple of months. He hits on some great points about talent, passion and being a good person, not just a good baseball player. Just though it was timely given some other recent threads.

I read that yesterday, nice read. Funny, my son pitched against him in HS when they were both juniors. I know we beat his team, but I don't remember how Dansby did against my son.

During the 30 minutes or so they talked there was a little baseball and a whole lot of grades and how to act. He made quite an impression on my son. Even more when he got MVP and drafted number 1. My son hasn't been on a ball field without his shirt tucked in or made anything but A's since. Someday I'm gonna have to write him a letter and...
