Josh Holliday – Man of the People

This was sent along to me by one of my readers, I’m blown away…

Yesterday I finally got around to Coach Holliday’s introductory press conference. Twitter said he nailed it, and, as well all know, the internet never lies. My girlfriend even joked she’d drink Kool-aid for him. Thankfully he’s happily married.

Inspired by his presser I strolled over to okstate.com looking for information on baseball related donations. I was upset to find nothing special at all. It took me four links to find a HomeRun Club PDF with Frank Anderson all over it.

Defeated by the prince of botched bunts I wrote Mike Holder an email expressing my disappointment about fundraising. He forwarded my email on to Coach Holliday and this morning at 8:30 Josh called to talk.

Everything you heard in the presser I heard over the phone. He was fantastic in talking about the other ways to support the program and how much he appreciated my passion for Cowboy baseball. The only words I got out were “Is this really Coach Holliday?” and “I’ll do anything I can to help”. The stadium money is coming. I can’t imagine big money boosters turning Josh down. I haven’t been this fired up about Cowboy baseball ever.

  1. What do you call a level above “All In”? Is there even one? Especially after Holliday’s first hire!! Holy crap!!

  2. None of this matters. The Thunder are in the NBA Finals.

  3. Yeah we are!
