A Sea Of Red

good article on relievers (the bane of the pitching staff, at times)

I particularly liked the references to that devil music you youngsters are listening to nowadays

Flames Feature: Closing The Door

May 10, 2007
Lynchburg, Va.

For years, baseball’s best late-inning relievers have had their entrances accompanied by playing of trademark theme songs (ex. Guns and Roses’ “Welcome to the Jungle” for Eric Gagne, Metallica’s “Enter Sandman” for Mariano Rivera and Billy Wagner, etc). These songs traditionally signal that the game is three outs from its completion, and this trend has filtered down to the ranks of collegiate baseball, including Liberty University. This season, Peter Gabriel’s “Sledgehammer” has helped mark the entrance of Liberty senior closer Tim John.

The John brothers have been class acts both on and off the field. It doesn't matter what coach asks them to do. It's " yes sir " " no sir " and I want to get better anyway I can. They don't come any better than those two young men. They are team guys to the core !

I have to agree with that.

sat w/ them at the Flames Club luncheon and both we very polite and appeared to be excellent ambassadors of what Liberty stands for.

both seem to be quality young guys. Best of luck to them
