it has been fun following him. thanks
I'm sure it is not easy. Most good players leave it all on the field like Josh, which minimizes regrets.
Best wishes to Josh and family going forward .

He is - has always been - and will continue to be a winner.
I have no doubt about that.

Frank - that is very emotional reading at any level. For whatever reason, I get emotional when players acknowledge it may be their last chance at the game they love. Obviously, I hope it goes well no matter what Josh decides to do but it would be cool to see his baseball career continue
I am glad to hear that a movie is not out of the question...
Oh my goodness, I loved this article. Please keep us updated.
Josh and Allison deserve for special things to continue to happen in their life together. I'm hoping for a movie. You can tell any interested producers that Josh already has a fan club who would promote it HERE!!!

Congrats to Josh and his team for winning the Frontier League championship in their first year in the league. Also congrats to Josh for getting the win in game 4 out of the pen.

It is always so special to see a player do well in the game we love so much. However, to see a young man touch so many lives and especially the lives of senior citizens is beyond moving. All his HSBBW family would should be watching a movie made about this experience! Blessings to Josh and Allison for their future!!!

Thanks. Glad you didn't mention his outing in game 5. Stings a little, but he's already laughing about probably his last pitch as a professional going for a dinger. It did ease the sting when they won it all.
Now to find a "real" job. Thoughts and prayers still appreciated.

For those who are interested, unless something comes up, the segment about Josh on ESPN E:60 is due to air next Tuesday (10/27). Check your local listings for times.
As an update, no "real" job for Josh as of yet. Gotten the ole "no experience" replies so far. Still has some irons in the fire. Currently substitute teaching until something better comes along.
Prayers and well wishes still appreciated.
