The Perfect Brand

I have always been about trying to look cool (I’ll be honest). I try to incorporate this cool look with who I am as an athlete. Senior year in school I found the perfect brand match for me. A combination of coolness and representing that I play baseball at the same time. It hit me like a tidal wave of excitement when I found the company 22 fresh.  This company allows me to have clothes that aren’t workout attire but still shows that I play baseball. It is the perfect balance of the new term, swag.

The immature kids of sophomore year

Everyone goes through phases and since I went to a Catholic high school and everyone wore uniforms, there were definitely many trends. The biggest one started my sophomore year when the newest style was to button all three buttons on our polo’s all the way to the top. It was trying to shove it in the school’s face for making us wear uniforms. I guess since we were immature we thought we were sending a message to the school by saying, “you want us to look nice; well, we will take it to another level and be obnoxious doing it.”

More than a game

                My home isn’t an enclosed place with a roof, or a cozy bed in a room. It’s between the chalk lines on the baseball field.  Ever since I was a little kid I have played baseball and have made one of my many dreams come true by playing at the Division I level here at UMBC. When I step onto the diamond I don’t think or care about anything else but baseball. All my problems go away and I feel true joy. It is a one of a kind thing playing baseball and I wouldn’t trade it for a thing.
