Setting the Record Straight

Many of you may not know the story but most of you do. This blog is created to set the story straight on exactly what happened the day I saranaded the BSC campus with Kenny Chesney's "Me and You". It was a Wednesday if I remember right. The baseball team was off playing at our in-state rival, Alabama A&M. I stayed behind to focus on academics as it was passion. After studying all day and doing several art projects, I went down to the field to throw and workout for my start the coming Friday night. As I was out on the field running and going through my workout routine. I noticed three lovely young ladies sun tanning out on the Striplin fitness center porch which overlooks the baseball field. One of the young happened to my a young philly I was dating at the time, now married to. Being the Romeo I am, I decided to go up into the press box and sing her and all the ladies at BSC who dreamed on each night, but mainly for Ami. So I powered up the mic, slapped on the radio and Kenny and I sang a duet together. About a quarter of the way through the song I noticed people coming out of their dorm rooms, professors stopping classes, campus police on their radios, even four frat guys holding their lighters in the air. Ami, Kristen, and Leslie(not Dean as we broke up 5 motnhs earlier), the other two girls with Ami, were all crying from what I could see. As I poured my heart and soul into that song, you could feel the emotion blasting all across the BSC campus. Based on when some of the birthdays of the kids who parents attended BSC that day, 8 babies were concieved at about 3:28pm that day. By the time I finished the third verse, all the guys on the bus headed back from the game knew I had sang on the field. There were stories that I was shirtless, which was fabricated by those who wish they could experience such beauty. There stories that even I cannot say on here. And yes, Coach Shoop did call me into his office the next day to talk to me, but it wasn't to scold me but to tell me that Mrs. Shoop had heard me and wept tears of joy. But after 7 years of silence, today I chose to break it and tell the truth of what really happened that day. So for those of you who have wondered if the stories were true or false now you know the rest of the story.
