Every June across this fair country of ours, young men gather around their living rooms and school gymnasiums and television screens to see if maybe, just maybe, some major league team will make their dreams come true and draft them as professional baseball players.
Last Thursday, high school pitcher Riley Pint gathered his friends and family in his metro Kansas City home to see if his dream would come true. Not only were they gathered around the television, there were television cameras gathered around them to capture their reactions. When the flame throwing righthander was taken no. 4 overall by the Rockies the room went bananas.
