Tryouts and Character


I have to give him credit. Julius is constantly trying to push the limits of what he can do. The words I cant are not in his vocabulary. He has decided he will go out for baseball and not for just any position he wans to be a pitcher. So he gets a glove, balls and a net and starts practicing everyday for three months, he works out tirelessly and falls asleep most nights with his books in his lap. He drinks protein shakes twice a day and eats more bananas then your average chimp. He has gotten taller maybe a bit broader as well. His strength has increased more than 40%. But with this said he walked out onto the field yesterday for Pitching tryouts and actually asked the pitching coach to show him how to throw. I had to admire his spunk yesterday to go to tryouts with dozens of other guys and then say basically I know nothing about your sport and I am not afraid to ask you learn or try out. Such character, such a character.
