Strasurrection? Strasburg's line: 5.0 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 4 K. 56 pitches, 40 strikes, 4-5 groundouts-flyouts.

Is there anything this man can't do? I had the priviledge of seeing him pitch in his very first rehab start. And without a doubt, in my short 20yrs of enjoying baseball, I have never been so amazed and awestruck by such an incredible, humble, young pitcher. There were people all up and down the east coast who happened to be in the area for vacation:Yankee fans, Red Sox fans, it didn't matter. They were there for one reason only. Many people forget he is in his early 20's because he is wise way beyond his years. I always look forward to seeing what he's going to do next. He is more than just a great pitcher, but a great role model for all our youth. It's players like him that bring families back together to watch a game together whether it be at the ball park or at home. Stephen Strasburg, you have my upmost respect and I'm a fan for life:)!
