So yesterday we had our first games and I could explain everything that happened but really here's the only thing that is important: Kellen Kmeicik (a utility infielder/outfielder) pitched a no-hitter!
THAT is a big deal. First of all, someone who had no business being on the mound except for a series of circumstances achieved what few pitchers have ever achieved and what most could only dream of doing. That is not to say that Kellen doesn't have good stuff on the mound, but if you would have told him 4 years ago that he was going to pitch a no-hitter his senior season in college he would have laughed his way back out to right field.
It got me thinking . . . unfortunately I do that way too much . . . that there are a lot of circumstances that can be thrown our way. Sometimes we may be put in situations where we don't feel adequate of worthy. We could let fear or self-doubt paralyze us, which I know almost every athlete has experience at one point or another OR we could step up, rise to the occasion, and give it our best effort. Nobody was expecting Kellen to pitch a no-hitter but he exceeded any of our expectations because he put aside his self-doubt and did the job that he had to do. Good for you, Kellen! You kicked some serious tail yesterday!!
By the way our record is currently 1-1 and we play Weber International tonight at 6pm - just in case you wanted to know.
