This is why Ben's so beloved everywhere, but especially in Omaha. His College World Series record wasn't great and he had the pressure of being the number one draft pick '89 while in Omaha. The way he handled himself, with humility and thankfulness, he won that city over forever.
This is great TV and shows how baseball is a sport of stories and life. It's SO difficult. And what's almost spiritual, Ben McDonald is able to tell his entire, well delivered, thoughtful story uninterrupted. The ball is not put in play during his compelling monologue. And Eduardo Perez and Mike Monaco don't say a word.
