Athletes I most want to see... Jared King

The two athletes I wanted to see we're Satchel Paige and Hope Solo. Both are or we're phenomenal athletes that help put their sports on the map. Along with physical ability both have primarily stayed away from negative press.

Satchel Paige was one of the best pitchers alive during his time. He dominated in both the Negro Leagues as well as Major League Baseball well into his fifties. I would just love to see him overpower hitters with his high velocity fastball and precise location. He also played for my beloved Cleveland Indians.

Hope Solo help rejuvenate women's soccer this past summer. She was an exciting and charismatic athlete to watch. She also is in phenomenal shape and is very attractive. The world cup was a blast watching as Hope and the other women displayed great heart and passion for their sport.

My favorite sport is baseball and then football. I played two years of college baseball at Ohio Northern University until I blew out my second knee making it impossible to catch anymore. I played four years of football and baseball at my alma mater, Fremont Ross High School as well.

Now a days I coach baseball back at Fremont Ross. I am the assistant varsity coach in charge of pitching and catching. I love what I do and hope to continue when I get established in a school as a special education teacher.

  1. Was this your Introduction Jared? I was thinking I had commented on your introduction, but perhaps that was on the other Blog. This appears to be somewhat of a duplication of what was on the other blog that you started.
