Brief aside: I was a student at Arizona State University for a year. Studying at the prestigious Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication in Phoenix was an awesome experience. While in the sports journalism program, I quickly started to follow ASU athletics. When the KC Royals selected former Sun Devil Alec Marsh in the second round of last year’s draft, my eyes lit up.
Before I could even reach out to some of my friends who were covering the ASU baseball team at the time, my phone dinged a few times. My friends put Marsh on my radar initially.
