I wanna play, I wanna play, I wanna play. I don't care what team I am on, I just wanna play. I would rather be playing on ANY team than watching from the stands. For months, I told the General Manager just this.... I wanna play. He gave me little hope for there were many that had played in the big leagues and now wanted to come back down to the Minors and finish out their careers. I told him I understood, yet kept telling him every week. I wanna play.
Due to my persistence, he offered me a spot on the Green Thunder squad. The coach seemed excited too, and I was just excited to get to play. I went in a few days later and was hit with some pretty damaging news. In the days that had transpired, other players from other teams started coming to the coach and disproving my stats. Saying my stats were padded, that I was not a team player and could not be trusted to help the team out in a pinch. The coach seemed concerned, yet said he was willing to give me the chance to prove myself.
As I looked forward to the first day of training, I could see the coach change. The stuff others were saying was starting to sink in and I could tell that his faith in my was waning.
