His mom just wanted a picture.

From the Closing Pitch

College conditioning

What happened? In a future episode of the Closing Pitch, our National Director, David Birkby, recalls his fall college baseball conditioning. He thought this was cruel and unusual punishment when he was playing, but looking back, it did something more. Find out what it was.
