My friend Nick is CRUSHING it as a baseball broadcaster. He just called three games for the Kansas City Royals and he's only TWENTYFIVE!!! How did he do it and how cool was my VIP experience with him?

Well first of all, I met Nick way back on September 2, 2011 at the Oakland Coliseum when he was just 13. Here's my blog entry about that bless'd day:

Now, all these years later, he's the Broadcast & Media Relations Manager for the TripleA Omaha Storm Chasers. His journey has been amazing, and he offered some tremendous advice for anyone who wants to pursue a career in broadcasting, but it's also great life advice in general. His full name, by the way, is Nick Badders check him out @badderupsports and show some to the @omahastormchasers as well.

And okay, as for my time at Werner Park here in Nebraska, not only did I get to join Nick on the radio for an inning during the game, but I did SO MUCH other fun stuff. I got to take batting practice and hang out on the field and in the dugout with the players. I threw the ceremonial first pitch and also threw tshirts in the tshirt toss, and I snagged a bunch of foul balls during the game, so yeah, this was all pretty nuts.

As promised, here's my playlist of Minor League Baseball videos:
