Hunter Ensley made baseball history

[JohnWardForever]

westwords Tennessee baseball, a week later … so much has happened … coach-of-the-year Tony V is now the face of the college game … TV talker Greg McElroy ripped Vitello antics as embarrassing, like a WWE character, no class … McElroy repented and may have been baptized. Great read by Marvin West!

Who is this Hunter Hensley that you refer to?

It's not about the X's and O's, but the Jimmy's and Joe's! Players make plays, and that was the National Championship!

Another heartwarming story about Hunter....... At the SECCG in Hoover, I sat next to a family of 5 that had come in from Memphis. THe oldest boy's favorite player is Hunter Ensley. The dad took his to meet hunter before the game and Hunter gave him his batting gloves.

Hunter had a tough tournament up to that point. I told the kid and his dad that by doing a good deed, I thought Hunter was going to have a good game. He was due and I know he had to be frustrated. Hunter ended up going 4 for 4 with an RBI and a stolen base. The kid was pumped, as was I.

Does anybody know if Hunter played receiver or running back in high school?

When I saw the first slow-mo replay, what stood out to me was the way he stuck his right foot into the ground, at full speed, to make that cut over to the left side of the plate. Certainly an athletic move, but one we most often see in football.

(...okay, or soccer.)

Who is this Hunter Hensley tbat you refer to?

What the "H" do you mean, oh spelling guru?

He played QB in HS. I think we have about 6 of the current players that played QB in HS.

I think you're confusing his name with Hensley Lamarr.

CHase Headley comes to mind. Love "Blazing Saddles".

Interesting tidbit as most coaches nowadays prefer players to focus on one sport. I’ve always thought it was better for kids to play all sports but I’m not a coach.

Astros win in Toronto on Canada Day!

No sweat. State-sponsored media will fix that headline. (eh?)

Would they be the "Arstros" in Canada, or only in the UK?

Throwing.
Arm.

Kind of a prereq for QB and most slots on the diamond.
