TEMPE, Ariz. -- Jahmai Jones is living out his dream and his exuberance was evident as soon as he stepped into the dugout, minutes before his first professional game in the Arizona Rookie League.
"Way up I feel blessed," Jones sang, a line from Big Sean's "Blessings."
Leading off and playing center field for the Arizona League Angels, Jones went 1-for-4 with a run scored in his debut Saturday night. He then followed that up with a 3-for-4 performance Sunday.
But for as "blessed" as he may be feeling, the past two weeks haven't been perfect.
