 When the lights come on, you knew it was time to go home. Then I entered Tampa Jefferson High School my sophomore year, and I tried out for the varsity baseball team, as my school didn't have a JV team. I'd always been either a pitcher or first baseman in the league, but they had a senior first baseman. I knew him. He was a good man. So I figured to make that team, I would have to try out for the outfield.
