I am a Ball Player
Who am I is a question that usually can be answered and understood pretty clearly. Clifton Panezich, a 34 year old male, born in Youngstown, OH to parents of Italian and Slovakian descent. That's the simple answer to who I am. Objective in nature and unable to be disputed, but the answer to what I am isn't as simple as some facts found on a birth certificate or in a DNA test. I am a ball player, through and through, and was bred to be one from days before I can even remember. But to those who don't come from a family in which that is their defining attribute, what does that even mean?
