24 was the best and worst year of my entire life

played for the lombard orioles which were single A in 1996, northwest storm which were also A 1997-1998 while i was going to college. what a nightmare trying to do both at the same time. signed with the iowa cubs for a year contract in 1999. played for a year. as a team i think we drank more than we played. got hurt sliding into second base on a rainy day and blew out my acl. game over. it's funny the timing of things. i hurt my knee and by dumb luck found a job as a multimedia guy for a company 5 months later during rehab. played a bit of baseball off and on in 2000 and 2001 for minor league 18 and over leagues.
as far as i know i still have 4 records that stand from when i played in high school.
my story isn't as bad as the kid i grew up next door to gruntt. he was the best man in my wedding btw.
he was a much better ball player than i was. he was playing for kishwaukee college in 1997 or 98 and blew out his rotator cuff. 2 days later he got a draft notice for the texas rangers. they wanted him to come to spring training. when he called them to tell them about his injury it went something like this...
"yada yada i just blew out my rotator cuff..."
"tuff luck kid" *click
we drank 3 days straight.
his dad pitched for the angels with nolan ryan. he was much better than his dad was and would have really been a good ballplayer. we don't talk about that hardly ever.

ditto.So I guess, if you're dating someone, don't marry them. At 24.

alright k0na, I've been reading your stories and either you're making them up or you lead one hell of an interesting life, or at least tell good stories about it :P
In any case, I'm starting the 'Draft k0na to write a book' campaign. If some dork dressed like a pirate can sell a bunch of books I don't see why you couldn't.

(Oct 26 06, 13:34)hahaha. thanks man. just so you know this was all true. i don't think i've lead one hell of a life, i've just been very fortunate with things. the strangest part about the baseball events was my best mans dad blew out his rotator cuff on the mound for the angels way back in the day. his foot slipped and he tweeked his shoulder. he and nolan were the only guys back then who could throw 100+. nolan even talked about him in an interview before he retired. my best man blew his out the same way but not before i blew my knee out and could no longer play. 3 people from the same small town who hurt themselves to ruin their pro career. ouch.
when dan got his notice to play it just so happened his folks were out of town. so i walked down to his house and from friday -sunday afternoon the two of us drank 5 cases of beer moping about our losses.
funny shit i remember about that. on saturday we played the old game 'don't break the ice' and saturday night we called these girls to come over and somehow let them talk us into dying our hair blonde. we both have dark hair. it was horrible.
haha.
thanks again man. it was actually nice talking about it for a change.

twenty-four was rubbish, twenty-seven was brilliant. but all in all i gotta give the twenties two thumbs down. the plot sucked, it went on for what seemed like a decade, and the only redeeming qualities were a solid cast and a great soundtrack.
