  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over time BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

Congrats to my little brother!

He got invited to major league spring training!

Scott Carroll, #74

He got drafted in the third round by the Reds three years ago and this will be his first action against the big boys. He is a "Non-Roster Invitee" which means he's not on the 40 man roster (yet). He'll likely start in AAA but maybe this is is the year he gets the call up, that would be awesome.

I'm so proud of him!

With the staff we had last year I'm sure the O's would be willing to give him a tryout!

Congrats Mike!

I love hearing about stuff like this, congrats to your brother!

By coincidence my great uncle George Scherger was a third base coach for the Reds through two worlds series back in the 70's

Very cool Mike, congrats and best wishes to your brother! Making your way through the ranks in minor league baseball to the show is a challenge like no other in professional sports IMO. It's tough, and takes a lot of time, effort, and patience. May he make the very most of this awesome opportunity!
