Firstly, credit to @EPLFanForLife, he has really came into his own over the past few months and his articles always draw me in.
You can always spot a "Walt" article; emotive, passionate, raw love for the game and typically a few references to US sports.
Call me Myron. I'm that little kid with the bottle rimmed glasses who can't see a foot in front of his face but swears he's gonna be the next great outfielder in the Major League. I eat, sleep and breathe baseball. I can rattle off the stats of every Major League infielder, outfielder, pitcher and designated hitter for the past 20 years (not really but it works for the illustration). I answer every question you have, regardless of the subject, in terms of the sport I love and the game I know I will become a superstar in when I'm older.
I can't see the ball leave the batter's bat let alone catch it, but I'll run around in the outfield looking up into the sun with my glove in front of my face until it hits me in the nose/forehead and bounces straight back up into the air; making me look both ridiculously lacking in anything resembling talent or skill but undeniably humorous at the same time. Because I'm so earnest in my belief and desire to succeed and so haplessly incapable of performing at the same time, you can't help but enjoy watching me fail because I really do try harder than most but have no clue how bad I really am. It's really ******* funny….. to you. Meanwhile, I remain clueless; exponentially increasing your enjoyment.
I could probably stop there. (Ed. But you won't) But you know I won't (Ed. thought as much). I'm too oblivious; too caught up in what I perceive to be your legitimate curiosity and unspoken, mirrored belief in me that I can hear through your continued requests for me to explain in more detail how I'm going to succeed; not realizing that you ask to fuel your own entertainment; to add to the things that you're going to laugh at me about tonight at the "real" cool kids gathering. I'm the easiest nut to crack; maybe ever.
"Sure, no problem. I really went back and forth for a while with this wildcard. I looked at many different options, even posted one or two of them on Twitter and my blog. Spent at least an hour or so, (Ed. And the rest) between more important things, working up different combinations and permutations of who I wanted. Nothing major; just spitballing.
