Last year when Thomas was a teachers aid she had a visitor come to the school. The visitor asked Thomas if he played sports and they started talking baseball. Turns out he was a former minor league player who's career ended early after an injury. While talking about exercises for arm strengthening he took out his cell phone and said he'd call a buddy of his who had some expertise in the area. He introduces his buddy, a former minor league team mate, to Thomas and hands the phone to Thomas who talks to the guy about long tossing, throwing from your knees, and other drills. They also talked about pitchers in the game today and he asked Thomas about some of the pitchers he knows and likes. They compared scouting reports on guys like Craig Kimbrell, Adam Wainwright, and other well know stars. Thomas said he was really nice on the phone. Care to guess who this pitcher was that talked to my son about baseball. One hint. He just set the record for most innings pitched in the post season.
