The time Larry Bird played college baseball

With the MLB season in full swing and the Boston Red Sox playing in their Opening Day against the Cincinnati Reds on Thursday, it brings me back to a story that has always fascinated me.

Baylor Scheierman always felt this was coming

BOSTON — Baylor Scheierman never doubted he could do this. Not when he fell out of the rotation early on this season, not when he had a tough shooting stretch last Summer League in Las Vegas.
