Hold on tight to your dreams

Post by SunnyJim »

Here's to the people who keep plugging away in the face of overwhelming circumstances.

One of the most decorated pitchers in NCAA history, the Pittsburgh Pirates drafted Appel eighth overall in 2012, but he returned to Stanford for his senior season and the Houston Astros selected him first in 2013, one spot ahead of Kris Bryant. Appel joined the Phillies when he was included in the December 2015 trade that sent closer Ken Giles to Houston.

I remember when he quit baseball to become an investment banker or something like that. Good for him though. Not an easy route at all.

He pitched a scoreless inning last night. The oldest 1st round draft pick to make his MLB debut.
