As a kid growing up and playing baseball in Florida, Chris Okey was a catcher.He loved being involved in the game. He wanted to be in the action. He enjoyed working with pitchers. The so-called “tools of ignorance” were a blessing to him.
“I love the position,” said the Dayton Dragons catcher in Davenport last week. “I love being part of every play. It’s exciting to continue learning the game and picking everybody’s ear. It’s a position I want to stay at and play in the big leagues.”
By now, most of Redleg Nation knows who Chris Okey is.
