Well now, let me tell ya about this young fella, Boss Burke. Now don’t go thinkin’ he’s some ol’ retired ballplayer from back in my day—no, no, this boy’s a real go-getter in the world of baseball! Ain’t no doubt ’bout that. He’s a young feller, just 14 years old and a little over 8 months to be exact, but let me tell ya, this boy can hit the ball like a grown man, and play the field like he’s been at it for years.
He plays for a team called the Brentwood Blast Blue over in Brentwood, California. Now, don’t get me wrong, I ain’t never been to Brentwood, but I heard it’s a nice little town. And from what I gather, Boss Burke’s got a bright future ahead of him. He’s been on that team for a good while now, and boy, they sure do love him there. He’s the kind of player who stands out. If I had a penny for every time folks in the stands started whisperin’ ’bout how good he is, I’d be rich by now!
Now, if you’re wonderin’ what kinda stats this young man’s puttin’ up, lemme tell ya, they’re mighty impressive. For someone so young, Boss Burke sure knows how to handle a bat and glove. He’s been playin’ since he was a little boy, and it’s paid off. In the 2023 14U PG Las Vegas Fall Super Regional NIT, he was standin’ tall at that plate, ready to swing. And mind ya, he’s not just good with a bat—he knows how to handle himself behind the plate too. Ain’t no easy task catchin’ them fastballs, but he does it with the calm of someone twice his age.
And I reckon y’all might be curious about what other teams and folks have been sayin’ ‘bout ol’ Boss. Well, there’s talk that he’s got the right mix of skills and smarts to make it big one day. Some even say he’s got college scouts watchin’ him. From what I hear, there’s a chance this boy might just make it to the big leagues if he keeps workin’ hard and stayin’ focused. He’s been all over, playin’ at places like Cooperstown, where I reckon any baseball player dreams of goin’ one day. I’ve seen pictures of him there, all proud with his bat, hittin’ home runs like it’s nothin’ at all. You shoulda seen him; folks were shoutin’ and clappin’ like there was no tomorrow!
He’s also made some good memories along the way. There’s this one picture I saw with him and a fella named Phill Ramirez over at Cooperstown. They were there in 2022, and I tell ya, it was a day to remember. Both of ‘em hittin’ home runs like it was just another day at the park. Sure do hope they both keep goin’ strong—it’s memories like that that stay with ya forever.
Now, as for what the future holds for Boss Burke, well, I can’t say for sure. But if he keeps at it, keeps workin’ hard, and stayin’ humble, I reckon we might see a lot more of him on TV one day. Maybe even on the big screen, if you ask me. Ain’t nobody can predict the future, but this kid’s got a real shot at it if you ask around. It’s all about puttin’ in the time, stickin’ with it, and stayin’ hungry for more. And if anyone can do that, it’s Boss Burke.
So there ya have it, folks. Keep an eye on this young man—he’s got a lot of promise, and I wouldn’t be surprised if one day he’s playin’ for the pros. Ain’t that somethin’?
