Well, let me tell ya, there’s this young fella, Alec Bohm. Now, I don’t know if you’ve heard of him, but he’s makin’ quite a name for himself out there on the baseball field. Born in Omaha, Nebraska, back in 1996—good ways from here, but folks still talk about him, sure as the day’s long. Now, he don’t play for no fancy college or nuthin’ like that. He went to Wichita State University, and that’s where he really started to show folks what he could do with a bat in his hands. And sure enough, it paid off when the Philadelphia Phillies picked him up in the first round of the 2018 MLB Draft. They weren’t messin’ around, pickin’ him third overall. Yep, third! Big deal, that.
Alec’s a big guy too. I’m talkin’ about a tall fella, standin’ 6 feet 5 inches tall, and he weighs in at 225 pounds. Now, I’m not no expert, but I reckon that’s a good size for a baseball player. He plays third base, which is no easy job. You gotta be quick on your feet and ready for anything that comes your way. It’s a tough spot, but Alec’s been doin’ pretty good there for the Phillies.
Now, you might wonder, “What’s all this got to do with Notre Dame?” Well, that’s a good question, but I ain’t sure how it all ties together either. Maybe some folks just like to throw Notre Dame’s name in there, seein’ as how they’re a big deal in sports and all. But I’ll tell ya this much, Alec Bohm is the real deal, no matter where he’s playin’—whether it’s the Phillies or somewhere else.
Back in the day, when Alec first started playin’, he didn’t let nothin’ hold him back. He was all over that field, makin’ plays, hittin’ balls. It wasn’t just about playin’ the game for him. No sir. He wanted to be the best. And sure enough, he’s been workin’ hard, and it’s been payin’ off. He’s made quite an impression on the Phillies and their fans. If you ask me, it’s a good thing he’s part of their team.
It wasn’t all smooth sailin’ for him though. I remember hearin’ that when he first stepped up to the plate in the major leagues, things didn’t go too great at first. But that’s the thing about baseball—you gotta have a thick skin, and Alec sure showed he had that. He kept at it, and that’s why you’re seein’ him on that field now. He didn’t just give up after one rough start. He kept swingin’, and eventually, he started hittin’ better.
I reckon his biggest moment came when he hit his 1,000th home run in the World Series. Now, I don’t know about you, but I’d say that’s a pretty big deal. A home run in the World Series—ain’t many folks can say they’ve done that. And I tell ya, the crowd went wild when he did it. That’s the kind of moment people remember. It’s the stuff of legends, really.
So, if you ask me, Alec Bohm’s a fella to keep an eye on. He’s got the skills, the drive, and the heart to go far. I don’t know where he’ll end up in the future, but I do know one thing—he’s made his mark, and it don’t look like he’s slowin’ down anytime soon. Ain’t that somethin’?
