Who Am I?

Ahhhh, the ultimate existential question? Not really.  Simply a post title where I will give you quick glimpse of  who I am.  I am Mack Walker from Grand Blanc, Michigan.  I am currently pursuing my dream in the game that I love.  From my very first memories, I have always loved baseball.  I can vaguely remember my grandfather playing ball with me in the yard all those years ago. That's when the dream started and now is when it is coming to fruition. 

In what seemed like a surreal moment that you would see on TV or in a video game, I was drafted by the Twins in the 1st round of the amateur draft with the 4th pick.  I am currently playing first base and working my way through the minors hoping to prove myself enough to get the call to The Show.  I'm still trying to get settled with New Britain in the Eastern League but I will keep you posted regularly with game updates as I can.  So wish me luck folks and check back often to see how my "game" is going. 

Here's where I work.  Well, at least part time. Sometimes we are on the road.  I didn't' take this photo but found it on the internet so all credit should go to the original uploader.

Welcome to the Game

Hello and welcome to my blog.  My name is Mack Walker and I thought it would be cool to start this little blog as sort of an online diary.  It won't be anything profound or deep.  Just some regular entries about my life as I do my best to fulfill my life long dream of playing professional baseball.  I am sure we will share some ups and downs together (hopefully more ups than downs) but I hope we have fun along the way.  So come along with me and let's see where this thing ends up.
