“I can tell you this for sure, it was when I played baseball in high school and I was in the outfield and I would literally pray to God - I'm not joking, I'd pray to God not to let the ball come to me. I was so bad, I was just terrible. I played soccer - I was the goalie. I would pray to God it didn't get kicked anywhere near me. I was an awful athlete.”
Justin Long
“I see great things in baseball. It's our game - the American game.”
Walt Whitman
“Even if they settle on baseball or softball as they get into high school, those other sports have unique elements that allow athletes to develop on a broader scale. Strength from football or agility from basketball are valuable as well.”
Christopher Downs
“I'd get done with school, go to baseball practice, go to volleyball practice and then go do my homework and go to bed. It was fun, though.”
Joe Kennedy
“They applied to enter as a baseball school only. I'd vote for them again.”
Corky Palmer
“We did not commit a single error in the game. When you can go five innings in high school baseball without committing an error, you improve your chances of winning.”
Andy Keith
“They (Maryville High School) have playing and practice venues all across the city. For example, baseball will play at Maryville College soccer at John Sevier School, so we're really just all over. It becomes a real logistical nightmare for one person.”
