finding meaning

It was a battle to stay out of last place in the American League Central, a rain-drenched game that seemingly meant nothing to anybody. Well, maybe that’s not true. Jarrod Dyson, the McComb native and Southwest Mississippi Community College alumnus, had his best game in his brief big league career on Saturday night. He went 3-for-5 with a run and a stolen base as his Kansas City club lost to Cleveland. Dyson may be battling former Mississippi Brave Gregor Blanco for the Royals’ center field job in 2011. So these games mean something to Dyson, for sure. And he’s holding his own, batting .357 with three steals in six games.
