Cardinals starter Lance Lynn relives Lit
Only a dozen people in baseball history have played in both the Little League World Series and the actual World Series, and only five of those 12 have played multiple times in baseballs Fall Cla sic.
Cardinals starter Lance Lynn is one of those five.
LLWS:Thats pretty cool, to be able to play in one Brett Favre Jerseys when youre 12 and then be able to make it to the major leagues and play in one there, he told Sporting News this weekend. Its definitely a cool feeling to know I played in both of those.
Lynn was part of the 1999 Little League World Series, on the U.S. Central team from Brownsburg, Indiana. Pitching against the U.S. South team from Alabamaa squad that coincidentally included Colby Rasmus, his Cardinals teammate for a short time in 2011Lynn had a shutout through four innings, but allowed a run in the fifth and then gave up a game-ending grand slam in the sixth Charles Woodson T Shirts . Brownsburg lost, 5-4.
His first big-league World Series ended on a better note. Lynn made 10 appearances for the Cardinals during the 2011 postseasoneight of them scorele sand St. Louis won its 11th World Series title. Lynn pitched a scorele s eighth inning against Texas in Game 7.
On whether he has a favorite: I mean, when youre 12 years old, you dont think that youre going to get anything better than that. And then to win the World Series in 2011, theres no better feeling than that. At the moments that each of them happened, they were very special.
On what sticks out in his mind about the Little League World Series: That was one of the first times I had left the state to go play. And then to be on national television and youre doing interviews and stuff like that when youre 12 years old, thats probably was the most interesting Josh Jackson Jerseys and/or weird experience of all of it. You just turned 12 years old, and you have a bunch of people asking you what you think about todays game and this or that, and all you really care about is going to play again. You dont really pay attention to anything else.
On what advice he would give 12-year-old Lance on handling the interviews: Well, 12-year-old Lance was probably nicer than this Lance. I had a knack at that age to be alright at that, and it kind of just grew as I got older. I would Green Bay Packers Jackets say the only thing I would go back and tell myself is not to throw that grand-slam pitch in the sixth inning. That would be the only thing I would tell myself.
