Open letter to the baseball team
To the Diamond Dawgs: Week in and week out, time and time again, this team continues to remind me of why I will always and forever support the Bulldogs.
In the waning moments of these games, when it appears to all that every ounce of talent has been utilized, and when every bit of strength has been exhausted, your coaches and your fans ask you for more... just a little more. Somehow, someway, you deliver. It may not be in this pitch, but the next. It may not be this bat, but the next. At times it is enough and others it is not, yet you always give more when asked. Always.
We as fans, love you so much sometimes words cannot express it. We're greedy. We're fickle. When you excel, we laud you with praise but admonish you at the smallest of mistakes. Through it all, over and over, you patiently stride to the plate or quietly jog to the field to do your duty; Playing this game that you love and that we love to watch you play.
In the coming weeks, you have the opportunity to do something that no Mississippi State baseball team has ever done before. That seems to be a reoccurring theme with this ballclub and this school. You are doing things that are being said cannot be done, even by us - the fans. You turn a deaf ear to us all and prove us wrong game after game; all the while doing so with humble grace and poise accompanied by a quick smirk and a knowing wink. It's okay for the fans to doubt us, you say, but we'll never doubt ourselves.
This season has been nothing short of amazing and there is more to come. The coaching, the players, the staff... Everyone on this team is special and has made a major contribution to its current success. But... what is past is prologue. Some say it can't be done. You've done it all season. Prove us wrong again. Go get the SEC Championship.
Time to put some Dawg in'em. Hail State.
