Who is Erik Lis, Alex?
This isn't a comment on Lis nor a comment on Roger Clemens...I was just imagining the feeling Erik had last night.
Imagine you're trying to realize your dream of becoming a major league ball player. You're a 9th round pick who had a good first year but a slightly disappointing 2nd year since being drafted. You're now starting your 3rd year, trying to get out of single A ball..........and who do you find yourself facing on a balmy Friday night in Tampa? Why, that's Roger the Rocket Clemens- a guy you never in your wildest dreams thought you'd ever face in a game. After all, you were about 2 months old when Roger made his first major league start! On top of that, what are the odds YOU become a pro ball player....let alone that Roger is still playing when you do.
But there you both are...playing pro ball. So imagine the feeling when a Rocket fastball heads your way.......and you knock it out of the park! Not all that many people can say they've ever done that....but you're now one of 'em. Whether you ever make the bigs or not, you'll always at least have that.
