JUNIOR gets drafted!!!

[JUNIOR]

Yesterday during the 15th round, pick 442 of the MLB Draft, I was drafted to the Chicago White Sox's. We negotiated a signing bonus and I leave for Phoenix Arizona today. It has been a quick turn of events. I thought I would get a week or two before leaving and when I heard I was leaving today, it was devastating. The emotional side is still kicking a little bit, but my family and I will pull through. It has always been a life long dream of mine to become a professional baseball player! I am ready for it and can not wait to see what the future holds! I will be ready to hunt when I get home!

That is amazing. Good luck on the bump. Keep the updates coming. The great thing about the MLB is that if you're playing in October you are having a great year. If you're not you get to go hunting.

 

[JUNIOR]

Thank you guys so much, it means a lot! I will play rookie ball and work my way up! Might stay in phoenix or go to Montana, depends on the rookie ball team I get put on! This is going to be fun!

 

[bigbuckhunter88]

Montana would be great for the outdoors and a chance to meet a rich ranchers daughter. I'm sure the cleat chasers are thick in Arizona tho.

 

[Baby-G]

That is cool! Congrats!! All that work has paid off! Keep at it!
