Sawmills and Baseball Bats

So watching this pitcher… the announcer says (paraphrased):

… an interesting moment in this young man’s life was when he left the minors leagues and returned home and continued to work in Missouri at his old job in a sawmill.

When he was brought up to majors he recalled that the reason he went back to the minor leagues with new attention and purpose was he smelled his rubber boots melting to the sawmill factory floor.

It was so hot that day.

Four years later, in interviews, he continuously says how he still has a hard time believing he is actually here.

Like this is
actually happening

(love it)

No coincidence sawmills and baseball bats use wood.
