Farm Team

They're not Michael Phelps, Tiger Woods, LeBron, and Justify. They're Michael Fu, Tiger Greenbaum, LaBronsky, and Justin FeFiFo...all members of TBWC (the bench warmers' club). They are being cultivated, prepared, readied to maybe some day play in The Show.

But they ain't ready today.

So they sit, not in Yankee stadium, but in the Mudhens' bleachers in Omaha, hoping, praying that some day, they'll get their shot.
