For an umpire, it’s one call.
For a player, that call can affect an at-bat, a game, or even a career.
Josh Donaldson explains why he tried to create relationships with the people making those decisions.

Josh Donaldson didn’t need a teammate to change him.
He needed one who made him feel free to be himself.
Jonny Gomes gave him that freedom—and helped unlock the player and personality already there.

Patrick Peterson reveals how his highschool coach bypassed his 1-game suspension so his coach disguised him as an anonymous No. 12, just to beat their biggest rivals
Patrick Peterson breaks down the ultimate high school loophole. Watch how a clever coaching stunt and a fake identity let a suspended star dominate the biggest game of the season.
"A celebration in the game before, I was supposed to be suspended for the next game coming up, but it was against our rival, Dillard."
"So our head coach comes into the team meeting room like, 'Man, Pat, they just suspended you, but you still going to play.'😳
“I'm like, 'I'm still going to play? How I'm still going to play?'"
"They put me in number 12. I had a dark shield [visor on helmet] and was out there cooking. So the principal was out there like, 'Hey, man, who is that number 12?'" 💀
School Principal: "Who is that? Where did he come from? We ain't seen him all year. A new number 12, a custom player.
Yeah, basically had to wear sleeves, had to look different."
"So that ended up happening. So he ended up getting fired. But long story short, man, that was pretty, pretty crazy."
Peterson starred as a two-way star cornerback and running back & was the No. 1 ranked cornerback in the nation & was also the No. 1 overall high school player in the state of Florida 🤯

What did he get right, and who got snubbed?
