Talk about a hard luck story! Seems like a talent that never got to see the field.
 
OK Mitch Keppy, you're the Herkmeister's new favorite player for 2016.

Stay healthy my man and keep fighting the good fight. YOU sir, are a STUD. Few men could keep the train moving as long as you have. I hope to watch you benefit from all you hard work.
