PBR: What is your most memorable baseball moment to date?

Blackstone: My most memorable baseball moment was in the state tournament when I was ten. We were playing White Bear Lake in the semifinal game. The first time I got up their outfielders moved to the fence. Their coach yelled out to them and told them, "Get off the fence he's not Paul Bunyon up there." As he was finishing his sentence, I blasted one over the score board. The next at bat they intentionally walked me.

PBR: Who is the best player that you have competed against?

Blackstone: The best player that I have ever played against was Jordon Joseph from STMA.
