Jeremy Taylor — Mon, 29 Apr 2013 16:15:41 +0000

Having your picture taken and taking a picture both require a certain degree of concentration. So when you’re taking a “selfie” (and performing both of these tasks at once) you tend to be pretty oblivious to anything else going on around you.

In the ’90s baseball classic ‘Rookie of the Year,’ 12-year old Henry Rowengartner (Thomas Ian Nicholas) really wants to be a major leaguer. The only problem is he’s more of klutz than a diamond king.

Baseball players aren't typically giants among men, no matter how talented they are. That's now changed with the draft of Courtney Hawkins to the Chicago White Sox.
