Fantastic article about Kirby and Zander

Imagine watching this team for the last couple years and only paying attention to the on-field stuff, or wins and loses. These are the good days, the ones our kids will be telling their grandkids about.

Ha I was just wondering if either one of these players ever thought of hitting the portal.... Kirby - I seriously doubt it, that guy is VFL... Z probably could have when he was told that he was not going to be a weekend starter back during the fall camp but Z kept working and the rest is history... they also said Z has the 2nd or 3rd lowest career ERA in the country. They is John and Vince, maybe with a quote from CTV in there during ST today.

Thanks for sharing @vollygirl. These guys are more than heroes to many young kids. It's awesome to see how much they give back to the support the community.

They are such a great example! So many kids on the team are!

We are really, truly, blessed to be Vols fans. I don't take it for granted.

Thanks for the link, an amazing article about some really special people. There are just some genuinely good souls in this world, and Kirby Connell is a classic example. When his playing days are over, he can pretty much write his own ticket in K-Town if he doesn't become a media personality, but whatever he does he's going to be a success.

That reminds me of a kid that played baseball with my son. I was the assistant coach. The kid was bouncing of the dugout walls. I asked him what was wrong with him. He screamed ADHD and Dr. Pepper.

You promised you wouldn't tell! Oh well, only one thing to do now....Dr. Pepper sir!

Couldn’t ask for two finer representatives of the program. Both are VFL’s and true examples of staying the course and never giving up when things weren’t going your way.
