Ethier, Sogard Achieve Their Dreams Through Lessons Learned At ASU
Courtesy: Sun Devil AthleticsLook around the stands at Phoenix Municipal Stadium during a baseball game and you’ll see scores of young boys and girls dreaming. Not dreaming in the sleeping sense, but rather of being on the mound, in the infield dirt or on the outfield grass instead of in the stands. Dreaming of throwing that perfect game or driving in that game-winning run, of hoisting the College World Series trophy for Arizona State University.
Rewind 20 years to Packard Stadium and you’d see a young Andre Ethier and Eric Sogard dreaming of the same things. Both were homegrown talents, intent on wearing the maroon and gold, but unsure of the route they needed to take.
