Fool Me Once

There’s no place on the mound for a pitcher with a bum shoulder.

Going back home was not in the plan, but it’s the best place to heal.

And to lay low. Media coverage on my injury is the last thing I need.

The pretty massage therapist I’ve found is a welcome surprise.

In the busyness of trying to live two lives—one a small-town boy and the other a big-time sports hero—I’m lost.

This woman steps up and shows me some things I forgot all about.

Passion in the midst of love.

Family, friends, and healing in ways I couldn’t imagine.

Seems like the old me isn’t at all who I am. And the joke is on me.

This new guy wants to change everything for love.
