I cannot speak, but I can listen, I cannot be seen, but I can be heard, So as you stand upon a shore gazing at a beautiful sea, As you look up on flower and admire its simplicity, Remember me. Remember me in your heart: Your thoughts, and your memories, Of the times we loved, The times we cried, The times we fought, The times we laughed, For if you always think of me, I will never have gone. -Margaret Mead

Great read about a great guy!
America knows Johni Broome as a national player of the year candidate, but Plant City, Fl, remembers when he was a slow, unathletic, unranked prospect who was passed over by FAU. And his rise to stardom contains religious parallels, writes @joerexrode. nytimes.com/athletic/6132624โ€ฆ
