BaseballBiz On Deck

Bobby Bass shares his baseball journey with Mark and BaseballBiz on his life with baseball from a 3 year old watching the Cubs on WGN to being drafted to the MLB, Colorado Rockies.

• Baseball Life takes many forms - Talent, Passion, Challenges and Love of the game.

• At 15 years old Bobby was throwing 87 MPH ball from the mound and scouts took notice.
  
• Later he was drafted by the Colorado Rockies and later worked with the Texas Rangers.
  
• Bobby recounts how he sustained injuries to his right arm only to fight back into the game hitting with his left and killing it.
  
• Bobby talks about his difficult times with an angry attitude, beer & Jack in the Box
  
• Road back with dedication and surrender to The Lord
  
• We also talk about youth in baseball
  • Pressure on youngsters with some travel teams and driving time
  • Use wisdom - support the youth
  • Little League, Community baseball, Boys & Girls clubs
  • The Purity of the game.
