Meet Dirk Hayhurst, Pitcher (not Porn Star)


Dirk Hayhurst has been called up. I know, Dirk Hayhurst is a Jay?

Anyway, he seems a bit of a philosopher and a writer. He questions things. He writes books. Books that contain stuff like this:

(Baseball books) are always all these feel-good guidance counselor posters. It's never so-and-so woke up at 5 a.m. to get on a bus for 12 hours that smelled like tobacco spit and urine and you can't lay on the floor, it's sticky, and guys are crawling all over each other because they don't want to step on the guy sleeping across two chairs. Nobody writes about that."

Ah, the aromic combination of tobacco spit and urine. I can't imagine why no one has written about that.

He's also wise: "I'd love to get back there, but if that doesn't happen, I'll keep trying my best until they tell me my best is not good enough. Then I'll go do my best at something else."

Big ups to Tony Ambrogio's Twitter and Las Vegas media in general.
