For most of Barclay's life, he has been a lot like me, a baseball fanatic. It would be othing for the two of us to have detailed conversations in the middle of winter about middle relief pichers and backup infielders. Baseball was, and still is, our passion.
Once he started school at Georgia Southern, he was introduced to the world of intramurals. Now instead of just playing baseball and softball, he was playing other sports as well. He has developed a particular fondness for soccer, both indoor and outdoor, and has acquitted himself quite well as a goalie, or "keeper" as those who play the game say.
Yesterday afternoon he sent me the following text message. "Someone I don't know just sought me out to play keeper on their soccer team!' That was quickly followed by, "Insane, right?" and "Apparently I left some mark!"
One of the basic needs in life is to be wanted, and out of the blue, someone, who was impressed with his goaltending skills wants him to play keeper on his team. Needless to say, he was pretty pumped, and needless to say, I am happy for him.
