Austin Langworthy has given a lot to the University of Florida, including a bone in his hand. He broke his hamate bone as a freshman and, as Langworthy describes it to me over the phone, “you don’t really need it, so when you break it they just take it out.”
It’s a small price to pay for a kid from Williston, Florida who grew up watching the Florida Gators more than any professional baseball team.
Langworthy recently walked with his girlfriend of five years, Kaitlyn Bannon, around an empty McKethan Stadium. Langworthy guesses he’s been coming to games since he was six years old.
