Vols in MLB Update

All these Vols with great and exciting things happening and I come in with stats for 2 innings Tuesday night for Z 😂 it was a Tuesday Muffin Man Mow Down 🍊⚾️🏆
Overall throwing too many balls lately, and missing more off the plate than usual, but I am hoping it is related to his double ear infection over the past weeks.

Hey, any time they're playing in the pros, they're doing great and exciting things. Love any info we can get on the Mighty Muffin!

Does he know how much he’s loved and appreciated by Vol fans? His loyalty, persistence, and passion were all-time great. Plus, he was so clutch when it mattered most! What a way to end his career at UT with a NC and total dominance!

I believe he does realize it. Kinda sorta...Even though, I think it is hard to grasp how much and the big picture. Any comments like yours, I let him know and he says "really?" Yes, there is no higher moment than can be reached, and he did it. Only one kiddo a year gets to do that and even less if series is only 2 games. And he made the all tournament team. Pretty exclusive territory. Still gobsmacked about it personally.
When he is pitching, of course he does not hear what the 2 guys in the booth say about him, so I jot it down and tell him. He is pretty surprised of the things that are said about him. He has never been cocky, from my view, as we pressed him about that when he was little bitty and growing up. Of course, the QB, point guard, goalie, pitcher, etc all need to have a little bit of cocky in them, but his is competitiveness. He never looks like he does, but he is very competitive. He has always been laid back. Nothing gets him bothered. Somehow, it all works out for him 😅 Very charmed life. Every one loves him down there. The pitching coach loves loves loves him. He is a fan favorite and loves the kids at the games. I told him, if anybody recognizes him in Knoxville, he would never have to buy another meal. He is not believing that 😂

He’s a Tennessee sports hero and we will always remember him. Tell Z that. And we’re still following him here.

Thanks for the update and sharing accolades with Z. He should never buy a meal or drink ever in Knoxville for the rest of his life. I had a chance to see him play in Gainesville and saw most of his midday and weekend starts at TN and in Omaha. The kid is a legend and went out on the highest note possible. Plus, on a side note, Jack Delongchamp credits he and Kirby with spring boarding his career with their interview and tour of LNS.

As a from the cradle lifetime Vol fan in all sports, Zander is one of my favorite Vols in any sport, all-time. I never thought he’d be a weekend starter. He became one of the best big game players in Vol history. And he did it while just being a regular, down to Earth, quirky, funny kid.
