Favorite Quotes: A man has to have goals - for a day, for a lifetime - and that was mine, to have people say, 'There goes Jackson Mercer, the greatest hitter who ever lived. I was in the show for 21 days once - the 21 greatest days of my life. You know, you never handle your luggage in the show, somebody else carries your bags. It was great. You hit white balls for batting practice, the ballparks are like cathedrals, the hotels all have room service, and the women all have long legs and brains.

I was born in Dallas and grew up on milk and baseball. Started playing at age 2, when i picked up my first bat. Two years ago was my break-out year. i hit .550 with 4 home-runs and played 3rd base most the year. Last year i hit .650. Hit my first homer on the big field in All-Stars and was the only kid in the League to do so. I mainly play 2nd and catch but i can play pretty much anywhere.I have started to pitch more im more of a power pitcher but i have a wicked knuckler and cutter. Im playin' football this year, most likely LB and maybe TE. I also do Track and Field. I do shot put (best is 37.5 ft) 4x100 (we have the school, district, and county record of 49.07 sec), and i did 200 (best is 28.1 sec)

My birthstone is a diamond, when asked my astrological sign i simply answer the hit and run. I dont judge a man by his looks or character but by the way he procceds to first after ball four. You can tell a lot in 90 short, feet. The game of life is much like baseball, to succeed you must be lucky and you must be smart. the game of baseball doesnt wait around for stars, neither does life. The one constant throughout the years, is baseball. America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers, its been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt and erased again, but baseball has stood the tales of time. This field, this game: it's a part of our past, It reminds of us of all that once was good and it could be again. Only 3% of minor leaguers will ever bend a blade of grass on a Major League ball field, but Just oncei would want to step into the hardpacked batters box. To stare down a big league pitcher. To stare him down, and just as he goes into his windup, wink. Make him think you know something he doesn't. That's what I wish for. Chance to squint at a sky so blue that it hurts your eyes just to look at it. To feel the tingling in your arm as you connect with the ball. To run the bases - stretch a double into a triple, and flop face-first into third, wrap your arms around the bag. That's my wish,. That's my wish. And is there enough magic out there in the moonlight to make this dream come true? Baseball is Life
