16 years go by so fast

16 years ago today, I made my major league debut against the New York Mets at Wrigley Field. 

It was a great day but it was also a scary day.

 I’d never played in front of so many people before. We barely would have 20 people at my little league games.

And then of course, the first batter I face is Heddo. And what does he do? He knocks it out of the park. Homerun.

It had to be the scariest moment of my life. But after I got that save, it was one of the happiest moments of my life.

I had hoped that I’d be able to make my re-debut on August 11th. But once again that day has come and no such luck. 

Sheesh.
