Adam Moore

Last updated

This is so exciting, It's a dream come true...I got a little sleep on the flight, but I kept waking up with butterflies, knowing that I was coming back to Arlington, where I grew up watching games. Walking into this clubhouse, knowing that I am wearing a big league uniform now is really something....Oh yeah, I'm ready [to play], I'm ready for the opportunity to get out there, show them I believe in their stuff, get that good relationship with the pitching staff and just take them to victory.
