2015 MLB Season Talk

[SmoothPancakes]

I went to school and played youth baseball with Mets pitcher Jon Niese. I actually was a pitcher as a kid as well as him, I just never had great control of the ball, especially on breaking pitches, so my pitching career never lasted past age 15. He stuck with baseball as we got into junior high and high school while I eventually went the route of football.

I also very briefly crossed paths with Chad Billingsley, but it was very briefly as he was 3 years older than me, so I never had much more than a year or two in the upper levels of youth and ACME baseball to be around him.
