 and "SOFTER TO ME" a song about how life is not always fair. This may be a new band but they are going to be very popular soon. Give them a chance and I am sure you will agree. Is the review positive or negative?
PositiveTo even start a PRO team, you need to get a team first. That team needs to consist of decently good players (Challenger/Master/D1). After you get out of that mess, you need to climb the ladder as a Ranked 5 Team. Once you even manage to get into Challenger 5V5, you gotta get into the North American Challenger Scene. EVERY single PRO PLAYER says that the NACS is the WORST possible place you can be in. Teams get kicked and bought and cashed around like their just paychecks waiting to be used. You need sponsors, you need to win a lot, you need good talent. I'm sorry but the organizations that you mentioned are far out of your reach and you should give up lol. Also idk if you wanna start any teamMy high school English teacher once told me that in literature, bad weather is an ominous sign for the protagonist.
That can also be true in baseball.
Saturday wasn't good Florida spring weather. While watching the Cleveland Indians game, a comment was made in the press box that the weather actually looked like Cleveland weather with low clouds and a light, but constant, drizzling rain.
The less-than-ideal conditions weren't lost on me as I drove to Chain of Lakes Park prepared to toss out the ceremonial first pitch before the Tribe squared off with the New York Mets.
I had never thrown to a major-leaguer, and had never had an announced crowd of 7,992 people watching me do anything athletic. But I had thrown a baseball, and that was enough to keep me from being worried.
I was a pitcher when I was 9 years old, but being the first year players were allowed to throw to other players, the only goal was to get it over the plate. That was the goal Saturday, too.
The pitch is scheduled for 1 p.m.
It's 12:45 p.m.
The woman singing the national anthem, the Veterans of Foreign Wars color guard and I are escorted from the ticket office to the field through the outfield wall. It is right before this trip that we receive our instructions.
The anthem will be sung at 12:56 p.m. and the first pitch will be at 1 p.m. I am to stand behind home plate until announced, walk to the grass in front of the mound - not on the the mound - and give it my best shot. I am not told who will catch my throw.
A gentleman from Youngstown, Ohio, joins us behind home plate. He won a contest at the fan appreciation tent and will throw out the ceremonial second pitch.
He asks if I am a "big shot" and I assure him I am not.
I am handed a baseball and asked how my arm feels. Even when I played, this was a question I never knew how to answer. I quickly say I feel good, as if my answer will get me placed on the disabled list or they'll go to the first pitch bullpen and grab another sports writer. Someone who's actually there to cover the game, perhaps.
The ball is brand new, and the shine has been removed using the famous Lena Blackburne rubbing mud that every professional baseball team has used for more than 65 years. I glance at it, and quickly sense the unmistakable smell of fresh leather. The first thing I do is flip it into the air and catch it with the same hand, something I've done with every baseball I've held since I learned how in high school.
Hall of Famer Bob Feller now warms up mere feet from me. He's the only pitcher in major league history to throw a no-hitter on opening day, but all I want is some karma or luck to rub off on me for just one pitch.
makes a joke about his singing voice to the woman who, in just seconds, will belt out the national anthem.
The color guard gets in position and the woman's name is called.
She turns out to be the best performer of the three of us.
Earlier in the day, I was introduced to the guy who is instructing us what to do and he calls me not by my name, but by someone else's.
I give him my name, but only my first name. This has me worried.
I walk out to the infield grass, careful not to disturb the pristine chalk line and hear "Brian Tynes" over the public address system, and it's pronounced correctly.
I decide I will throw first because after all, I was there to throw the ceremonial FIRST pitch and that's what I intend to do.
I give little thought to the throw. I don't know how I gripped the ball. The only thing going through my mind is the guy catching my pitch is squatting, and that will make this throw harder.
You would think it wouldn't be a surprise to a sports writer, baseball fan and former pitcher to see a catcher squatting, but it kind of was.
I take my step and release the ball. It has the velocity I planned for, but not the aim.
It makes it to the plate but not much more, and skips between home plate and the left-handed batter's box.
Later, I will thank Josh Barfield for "making me look good" with his catch, but it wasn't Barfield that I owe the thanks to.
The gentleman from Youngstown makes a weak throw that barely makes it to the dirt around home plate and, when it gets there, is technically in the third base line.
In the pantheon of first pitch throwers, I fall somewhere between President George W. Bush, a former MLB team owner with a sweet throw, and Cincinnati Mayor Mark Mallory, who's ceremonial first pitch was so bad he received a ceremonial first ejection.
They let me stay, though, and they let me keep the ball.
My brand new, pristine baseball now has Barfield's autograph and a brown scuff mark.
