Re: Boothby on Buchanan Watch List

Didn't want to start a new "Ben Boothby eats nails thread" so I figured I would piggy back on this.

I had an opportunity to visit practice on Saturday afternoon and liked a lot of things that I saw, mostly the veterans really getting after the young guys, Farley's tenacity (more so than usual) but nothing impressed me more than Ben Boothby. Let me elaborate...

Before practice Farley was talking to me about his "horses" and brought up Boothby. He mentioned how smart he was and that he might be missing practice that day due to him taking his MCATs. I didn't give it another thought. As pre-practiced ended the team began to gather for flex when all of a sudden a scene began to emerge. Around the corner, running (probably as fast as he could) emerged Ben Boothby. Still a good 4-600 yards away from the practice field, shoes untied, helmet and practice jersey in hand, shorts on, shoulder pads, and no undershirt, he ran, the entire way, sprinting, not wanting to miss a minute of practice. Most young men in that scenario would take the sweet time, it made an impression on me I will never forget, and if I wasn't already a huge fan, I certainly am now...I hope he did well on his MCATs.

Great story Jeg. Coach Farley only speaks of Ben Boothby in the highest regard, and your story is just an affirmation of what I've heard.

I can pretty much GUARANTEE he will score higher on his MCATS than Gaylord Focker.

I wouldn't mind if my one year old's son's first word (aside from mama/dada) -- was "Booothby!"

Re: Boothby on Buchanan Watch List

Jim Sullivan's column in today's Courier was a nice piece about Boothby's involvement as a youth/highschool baseball umpire.

'tis available on their website,
or you could support your local economy/media by picking up a copy of the paper.
