Instead of suiting up for Michigan State in the fall, Jase Bowen officially will begin chasing his dream.
Bowen, who signed to play football and baseball for the Spartans, signed Wednesday with the Pittsburgh Pirates, who selected him in this month's Major League Baseball draft.
"Michigan State will always hold a special place in my heart," Bowen tweeted, "but today a childhood dream of mine came true. ... Couldn't think of a better first job."
