Allow me to first explain why I was there. Josh and I have been good friends for a few years now. We played baseball together back in high school. He was a little better than me, seeing as he’s still playing in college and I, well, don’t. He just finished his freshman year at Oneonta State, where he led the team in ERA.

Turns out, they didn’t do so well in their conference, and were knocked out by Cortland State. Oneonta lost to Cortland 8-7, in game where Josh came in and pitched two perfect innings. After we got back from Candlelight, Josh asked me if I wanted to go to Long Island with him to watch the regional game. I had nothing to do, so I agreed. Read the rest of this entry »
