My Micah Owings story:

 

When we were down in Arizona for spring training we ventured down to Tucson to catch a Brewers/D-Backs game. We got there early and were walking around the stadium and came upon a field where the D-Backs were taking batting practice. The group was a bunch of younger players, most of which my dad or I had never heard of. But one guy stood out, #44 Owings. He was absolutely killing the ball. He was hitting ball after ball out of the practice field.

 

We then make our way into the stadium and look at the program and both of our jaws dropped when we saw he was a pitcher. We figured it had to be a mis-print, and asked a D-Back fan, and he assured us he was a pitcher.

Very nice. Hopefully he'll just be at bat with the bases empty. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

Listening to the game they just came off a commercial break and Uecker said it was gone for Corey Hart. I thought it was just one of their intros with Uecker calling a home run but then realized it was live. Excellent.
