Every now and then we get to do something on campus that is out of the ordinary. Several weeks ago, we had the privilege of hosting Paul Byrd, former major league all-star pitcher, and his wife Kym. They came and spoke with our students at UConn, with both Paul and Kym sharing about their lives in and out of baseball, and how their faith in Christ has been a key to their success in sports and as a family.
We also brought them to E.O. Smith High School to speak with the varsity, JV, and freshman baseball teams. There, Paul told many funny and poignant stories about life in the big leagues, and he helped the kids gain a perspective on what it takes to be successful. It was a blessing to UConn and to E.O. Smith to have the Byrds in hand.
