Scooter Chronicles

For those of you that don’t know, there were two baseball players last week that gave great examples of how all ballplayers should be. They both showed how more important their team is and aren’t just out for themselves.

The first candidate is Aaron Rowand, centerfielder for the Philadelphia Phillies. In a game against the Mets last week, they get into a jam and load up the bases with two outs in the top of the first.
