GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Tim Masthay wasn’t looking to relive his high school glory days. The opposite, really. That’s for the washed-up dads, the has-beens, the wannabes. He’s not in that crowd. Not yet, anyway. He’s part of the 1 percent, one of the fortunate few living the dream of his childhood: being a professional athlete.
No, as aw-shucks as it sounds, the Green Bay Packers' veteran punter just wanted to help the kids. Little did he know how much they’d end up helping him.
It all began a year ago in De Pere, Wisconsin, when the West De Pere High School baseball team needed to call a left-hander out of the bullpen.
