Probably a Polk technique to teach character. Dig a hole, fill it up, learn discipline, etc. Polk gets emotional with those clips of Masters' HR. I think he's trying to set us up for a perpetual miracle comeback.
I can hear it now...... The two-strike pitch, and there's a drive, deep to center, at the wall, and GONE! A grand slam for Nappi! A grand slam for Nappi! The SEC: A Story of Character.
So how far is our basketball team gonna make it this year? Did Stans just make all our boys shoot like **** in SEC Tourney so that we could climb out of the hole we dug and show the world our Story of Character? Unbelievable call you just made, or predicted, or whatever...
