Story #44, 45 -- Back to the Futures

Here are the MiLB.com stories about the U.S. pitching staff that I promised the other day. I leave for San Francisco tomorrow and I can't help but be a little nervous. I keep seeing all the commercials for the MLB All-Star weekend all over the TV and it's starting to sink in-- hey, you're going to that buddy. It's my first experience at an event of this magnitude so it's leading to mixed feelings of excitement and nervousness.

Click here for an closer look at Harrisburg Senators hurler Collin Balester, a surfer turned pitcher ready to leave his mark at the Futures Game Sunday. I really liked this story, probably because it wrote itself thanks to a good balance of story and good quotes.

Enjoy! I'll keep you posted on my adventures in San Francisco this weekend...
