A friend at work sent me a link to an interview of Michael Thompson, a friend from my hometown, currently playing for a AA Minor League baseball team, the Mobile BayBears. This part pretty much sums up the Walsh experience:
Thompson returns every offseason to spend time in Colorado’s thin air. He helps his brother on the family farm outside Walsh.
“That farm helped me get to where I am now,” Thompson said. “But it doesn’t take long to remember that I like baseball better than driving tractors.”
I’ve been tracking him a bit this year since he’s getting towards the make or break part of his career, and he’s having a pretty good season thus far.
