Ah, Riley Green, that country singer, yeah, folks might not know, but he had a little baseball in him too. See, when he was younger, Riley didn’t just sing them country songs. Nope, he played sports like baseball, basketball, and football. Now, I don’t know about you, but it ain’t easy to be good at all them sports. But he sure had a passion for it back then. You know, them boys in small towns, they love their sports, and Riley was no different.
Now, Riley Green, he’s famous for his music now, singing them country tunes like “In Love By Now” and all. But before all that, back in his school days, he was out there playing baseball. I reckon he was good at it too, ‘cause you don’t just forget playing a sport you love. He even said in some interviews that he used to love playing baseball, basketball, and football. That’s what kept him busy before the music took over.
Folks might not believe it, but he got a chance to pick up a bat again. Yeah, he went and took batting practice with the Philadelphia Phillies. Now that’s something, ain’t it? One day you’re singing on stage, next day you’re swinging a bat at a big ballpark. I guess once a baseball fan, always a baseball fan, huh? Even though he didn’t go on to be no pro player, it’s nice to see he still has love for the game.
Riley’s Journey from Baseball to Country Music
Now, Riley, he didn’t become no big baseball star or nothing. But it’s clear that the game stuck with him. You see, it’s funny how life turns out. He could’ve gone the sports way, but music found him, and I reckon he’s done alright with that. He got his start on that TV show, Redneck Island. Ever heard of it? Yeah, that’s where folks first saw him, and before long, he was singing all over the place, people loving them songs he writes.
And with all his touring and singing, he still found time to go back and play a little baseball with them Phillies. Ain’t that something? Shows you, no matter how far you go, there’s always a part of your past you hold onto. For Riley, that’s baseball, even though it’s been years since he played seriously. Ain’t no harm in having fun with an old love, right?
Music or Baseball: What Would Riley Choose?
Now, I ain’t no mind reader, but I reckon if you asked Riley today, he’d say music is his number one. After all, that’s where he made his name. But baseball? That’s always gonna be a part of him too. It’s like them old hobbies we all have. Just ‘cause you don’t do it for a living don’t mean it ain’t special. I think Riley probably still gets a kick out of watching a good game or picking up a bat when he can.
He might not be the next big thing in baseball, but he sure is something in the music world. His albums, they’re doing real well. Folks love them songs, and he’s even won awards for it. But deep down, there’s that little piece of him that remembers swinging that bat and running them bases. It’s kinda like how some folks grow up fishing or hunting, and no matter how far they go, they always come back to it somehow.
Conclusion
So, yeah, Riley Green, he’s a country singer through and through, but don’t be surprised if you see him picking up a baseball bat every now and again. He might not play on no team anymore, but that love for the game, it ain’t going nowhere. It’s like an old flame you never really forget. Just goes to show, even country stars have their secret pastimes, and for Riley, that’s baseball.
