I thought I was finished blogging for the week, but every once in a while, a story arrives that is too good to not blog about.
Grant Desme, a 2009 Kane County Cougar and a talented prospect in the Oakland A's system, is retiring from baseball to become a priest. I'm certainly not making fun of someone who is pursuing a religious life and I have the utmost respect for Grant and his decision. It's just not a story you hear very often, particularly from someone who had a shot at playing in the majors.
Desme against the Silver Hawks in 2009? .300 avg (3-for-10), 2 doubles, 3 strikeouts, 3 stolen bases
UPDATE: Desme was also hit by two pitches against the Silver Hawks. Jordan Meaker and Brett Moorhouse might want to say a prayer asking for forgiveness, just in case :)
