Damn, every time I think I’ve maxed out on my man crush for Skenes a new level manifests itself.

Those of us who are doing this … it’s not about money or fame. It really is just about having a genuine love of baseball, and a love for your country. And let’s be real, some people think there’s a risk that goes along with playing in this tournament. Guys have gotten hurt at the WBC. So, for some players, that keeps them away. But for those of us who’ve answered this call, it’s all worth it. You’re making a sacrifice, ramping up earlier. Changing your offseason plans.

But this tournament is not about me. It’s not about any of us, really. It’s bigger than any one person. It’s about country. That concept is a huge part of what attracted me to military service, and it gets at why I have so much respect for those who are willing to raise their hand and put their life on the line for our country. That sense of a greater good. The bigger picture. Our team, we’re not cadets or anything like that. (These hairstyles would never fly.) But everyone on this team … we all understand that when you put on those colors, you’re not just playing baseball, you’re representing something deeper. When you’re watching us in this tournament, we hope you feel that too.

Right up there with Paul's letter to the Galatians.

Wish our current players would read this and start to think of playing for LSU in this way. Obviously not the same as playing for your country but a little pride in the name on their chest and playing selfless baseball is really something this team needs.

Skenes is the man.
Do we think he goes more than 4 innings tonight if he’s pitching well?

Great read. He left out one thing at the end. "Although there is no guarantee, you just might end up with a hot piece of arse like me,".

don't know why he's still with that insufferable attention whore, it's not like he doesn't have options

We need more Paul Skenes in the world.

Excellent letter. Thank you for posting it.

Yep. Sent it to my freshman son who just made the JV team in high school.
