Thanks for the link Glove Man.
There's an interview with Cooper Brannan in the most recent issue of BaseBall america (issue no. 0706) on page 8.
The last question and answer is quite funny...
******************************************************************************************
SCHWARZ: Now that you're starting your second career, have you ever thought, "What if I'd reached back for that grenade with my right hand?"
BRANNAN: I would've done what the Marine Corps taught me: adapt and overcome. I would've tried working with my left arm to try to become one of those goofy lefties.
*******************************************************************************************
We certainly are blessed with a number of remarkable young men...I wish this young man all of the success that could possibly come his way...he deserves it.
My hat is off to the Padres' organization for recognizing the stuff that Cooper is made of and giving him this opportunity.

Kudos to the Padres. Opportunity. Isn't that really what anyone really wants--an opportunity?
I wish Cooper the best.
