As I waited to interview him following the Oklahoma State baseball team’s 11-9 victory against UT Rio Grande Valley — there was something much more pressing for Max Hewitt to take care of.
A group of roughly 10 children that couldn’t think of anything they would want more than a signature from Hewitt.
Hewitt — a Midhurst, Ontario, Canada native — had his hands full Saturday at Allie P Reynolds stadium. First with the UTRGV pitching staff — then with the pile of baseballs he wouldn’t walk away from until he had signed every last one.
The former was no different from his performances thus far in 2020.
