Alumni Advice
“Work hard. Take extra batting practice, extra fielding practice, and practice like you play. So many guys at the major league level have talent. Not all of them work hard. That’s your edge. Off the field, carry yourself with dignity. Be the type of person young fans should look up to. Finally, have fun with it. It’s the best game in the world!”
– Rod Carew
