its called the american dream, baby!

Fan who threw 96 mph to sign major League deal with A's describes journey to contract

This is a week old. The article also says he's been in talks with A's since February so it was most likely staged by his agent. He is also throwing off of a crow hop, not a mound which allows you to throw 2 or 3 mph faster. But good luck to him, he's still a long shot to make it and he doesn't look that big.

Hey I'm rooting for the guy! I just call BS when he's already been talking to the A's for 7 months.
