John Marston Inducted into Hall Of Fame Wednesday, January 7th , 2071 The Pro Baseball Experience Hall of Fame has added a new immortal to its roster. The great bullpen specialist John Marston was inducted today as baseball's newest legend. "I'm humbled to be here," Marston said. "This is hallowed ground. My whole career has been storybook. I've kept running into the right people at the right time. I've often said that I was like a kid on a carnival ride at the amusement park, and I didn't get off -- I just stayed on it my whole baseball career. To my hundreds of teammates through the years...thanks for sharing the ride with me. It was amazing." Marston also thanked his dad and older brother for believing in him when he didn't believe in himself. His dad always told him he was going to be big baseball star one day. Marston would always reply, "Aww, c'mon, Dad, that's never going to happen." Throwing in the backyard, his older brother would always goad him, "You're throwin' like a sissy." He would then put everything he had, and more, into the next pitch. Well, that sissy did pretty well. Over his career Marston appeared in 621 games, recorded 174 saves, fanned 1324 batters in 986 innings, and compiled an impressive 3.23 ERA with a 76-54 won-lost mark. He didn't just become a baseball star, he became a Hall of Famer. |
