How to talk to ballplayers
?Eno gives us some insights in his growing pains. I love this line:
As for me, I met a player once, talked for two, maybe three minutes, but never talked baseball. I was with my boy (still in elementary school), and he talked to him as much, if not more, than he did with me. He instantly became my kid's favorite player. Thank god he's a super-nice guy.“I was asking Eric about this, but are ground balls and fly balls something you think about when you get up to the plate?”
“I think about putting the barrel on the ball.”
The peanut gallery exploded. “He gets paid to put the barrel on the ball, you guys get paid to think about fly balls and ground balls,” offers Hosmer clearly on the tape. Which wouldn’t be so bad, he’s right.
