Pete misses baseball

Day 3 saw the pitchers throw off the mounds. The staff took advantage of the long break, and were able to come into camp with the arms in decent shape. It was a treat to have four catchers for bullpens. Last year, it was Brian Sheehan and some infielders that never caught in their life. Big difference.

We did some sprints at the end of practice. Bobby Frantz topped RJ Spinella, Conner Lorenzo and Scott Schuster in the sprints. FSU's 'fastest man'.

Jason Howard took the W today. He's on light duty, but continued to participate in the mile and have a positive attitude.

A shout out to Pete Lusk (class of 2009). He is now working for the Athletic Department at George Washington Univ. Pete said " I'll never forget the nerves and excitement that came before the first day of 6:00 a.m. practice. Having been at three different Universities since I left Fredonia, I can honestly say I have never seen a team prepare like we did." Pete had stops at Fordham and Farleigh Dickinson prior to G.W.

That "prepared" 2009 team went on to set just about every school record that season.

I always hear from a bunch of former players this time of year. A lot of stories and memories creep up from the days of 6 a.m.s.
