He gave me the perspective that not everything is about baseball, and it’s helped a lot through the years.” He was always there when I was feeling down about anything and always gave those few words of encouragement. I always wanted to play and play hard, and maybe that’s what caused some of my injuries. “No one really pushed me into baseball, but my number one support has always been my dad no matter what. With every athlete, there is a driving force of support who are just there for them no matter what, and I wanted to know who that driving force was for Samson.
