It's an exciting time for the school and a great achievement.

We?re blessed and cursed in the same aspect. We have 20 quality players all the way around and it?s hard to get all of them in games a lot of times. We have our starters, but we feel comfortable when we make switches.

A lot of times, when juniors become seniors, they get that character to them that develops. It?s just amazing seeing juniors develop into seniors, and he?s one of those kids.

We feel fortunate that we have a lot of arms that we can throw. We feel like we have eight or nine players that can give us some innings this year.

I'm flattered that so many baseball people think I'm a Hall of Famer. But what's hard to believe is how one-hundred and fifty plus people have changed their minds about me since I became eligible, because I haven't had a base hit since then.

I get more mail for that one season than I get for all my years before that.
