Hey guys,
Been EXTREMELY busy this week so I've only been able to come on here sparingly, but I had to share this video with all of you.
In case you haven't seen or heard, the AAA All Star Game was last night. During the game, 30 year old catcher Eric Kratz was summoned by his manager and asked if he wanted another at bat or wanted to head to the big leagues. Kratz is a 9 year vet who has never played in the big leagues and was one of the Pirates' last cuts of Spring Training.
An emotional time and a well deserved call-up for Mr Kratz...call me sappy, but this stuff gets me every time. It is a tough road but the payoff, as you can see, means everything.
