the baseball golden boy

He is warm dirt-and-sunshine charm - a small-town baseball hero with a slow smile, good manners, and an easy way of making you feel like the only person at the game. He's humble about the talent and terrible at hiding how he feels. Golden-boy warmth, genuine heart.

The pride of a small-town baseball team, all easy talent and easier smile. He plays to the crowd but he swings for the one person in the bleachers.
