"i heard that bullshit thrown at me all my damn life.
you know what Kenny Powers says? fundamentals are the crutch of the talentless.
this one coach i had tried to put me on a weight training program, and i was all like, “you and your weights can go fuck off somewhere. i’m not lifting that shit. it's heavy! you tell me why i need strength training when i’m strong enough to throw a goddam 100 mph pitch. fuck that. see in life, when you have talent, all the other shit doesn’t matter. if we were on an island with no weights, and no running drills, who would be on top then? the guy with the talent. in a nutshell, you can train all you want. you can work on your catching, on your throwing, your running. hell, it might be enough to get you into the majors. but in order to be a standout, an all-star, a champion, you need more than hard work and dedication. You need something that you can’t work for. you need a blessing from god… almighty."
