I first want to thank you for always giving your 110% effort. Your fearless attitude and your willingness to sacrifice your body to help the team is the thing I will miss the most. Kole Calhoun, you are a throwback to the good ol’ days in baseball.
You almost always seemed to have your uniform dirty from sliding to make a diving catch, or hustling around from second to score the game-tying run you were the epitome of what it means to be a true ball player.
I remember the first time I saw you play you came up with the game tied against Toronto in the 8th and unloaded for a game-winning two-run homer in the bottom of the 8th.
