The New Yorker
ESPN the Magazine, photo by Kevin Miyazaki
I have the distinct honor of being accepted to the MARN mentor/mentee program for 2007-08. As I was deciding how to compose this post I remembered the New Yorker cartoon from a couple of weeks ago. Besides being a hilarious visual that sums up the current Milwaukee Brewers battle to enter post season play for the first time in 25 years, it seemed to coincide with the mentor/mentee/coach/player thoughts that have been filling my mind since the announcement on Saturday.
As I was gathering the links to add to this post I went for the url of my mentor Kevin Miyazaki (if you haven't already been there be sure to also go to his terrific blog) and a few links down on the Google page was this sheet from ESPN the Magazine. Synchronicity, again.
I hope that through the next six months as I learn and receive critical engagement from Kevin I can come up with a couple of strikes, keep the ball count low, and for god's sake avoid wild pitches. There is no mention of being pulled for a reliever.
(Once again I am having problems with formatting. Line spacing seems to have a mind of it's own.)
