Kent State of Mind: Lance Macdonald - Enjoying Every Moment

I’ve loved baseball for as long as I can remember.

From the time I was just a little kid, outside in the backyard playing catch with my dad, I was hooked on baseball.

When I was first learning how to hold a bat, I’d constantly use the wrong hands or face the wrong way. Instead of correcting me to a certain side, my dad would just keep me on whichever side I lined up on.

Some days I’d bat left.

Some days I’d bat right.

As a result, and whether he meant to or not, Dad made me a switch hitter.
