From Coma to What?? The Semi-Pro Baseball Hall Of Fame! That’s what hard work and dedication pays off, capped with a .523 batting title in the 35 and up MBL men’s baseball league. And love for the sport that helps develop so many kids in to adults.
We owe a HUGE shout out to our good friend, Jay Davis. Jay ran the Spikes semi-pro baseball team, with support from so many (the Cowboy encouraged Jay to start the team and helped Jay run it). Jay created one of the top teams in the country, ranked #1 in the country a number of times. See you in the big baseball stadium in the sky some day, brother Jay.
The Cardinal Cowboy’, Carter Rethwisch, can be tracked going back to winning Co-Team MVP as a kid playing for the National Blue Champion Ballwin Red Sox, (Former NL Batting Champ Bill Mueller in the same baseball association) along side former MLB prospect Lane Pietro, and many years as one of the top players in the league that lead to the SLABA Team MVP for the team who won the entire Midwest Region (Crestwood Lindberg – Lindbergh High School). It is the same award as David Freese, Ryan Howard and other MLB players have won.
Then getting knocked into a Coma by a drunk driver… to less than 50/50 odds of survival…
To MBL Batting Champ .523 at age 41 in the 35 and up… to being inducted into Semi-Pro Hall Of Fame..
“Let’s just say I PITTY THE FOOL WHO EVER DOUBTED ME!” ??? HA!
*** But seriously never did the doctors dream I’d recover. We had an Emergency Room Trauma Surgeon as a guest on the Cowboy & Judge Show…
He told me my “full recovery” was 1 in 100 odds…
“I share this because if I CAN DO THIS… CERTAINLY MOST ANYONE ELSE CAN DO IT TOO.
My friends know that if I can recover against such odds For sure anyone must be able to!!”
Lots of work to do to help as many people as we can! YOU GOT THIS! #GiddyUp #CardinalCowboy #SPBHOF
