Sam Perry's introduction to the sport of baseball came at the age of 5.
The Westport native recalls playing in his backyard with his dad Brian. His father happened to notice something different about his son. He was pretty good for his age.
"He said I could tell the first time I threw a baseball that I was going to be something special," Perry said. "He didn’t know with what, football or baseball. He knew I had a drive to be the best I could be and could see that from a young age.
