Brett Young was a star baseball player in high school and college.<\/p>\n
In fact, he was such a standout pitcher in high school that he received pro offers from The Tampa Bay Rays and The Minnesota Twins after he graduated.<\/p>\n
But Brett opted to postpone his major league career to go to college, where he continued playing baseball until a serious elbow injury ended his baseball career and led him to re-discover his love for music.<\/p>\n
Brett admits he sometimes wonders how things might have turned out had he not gotten injured, but he never wishes things had worked out differently.<\/p>\n
\u201cI miss baseball all the time, especially when I watch baseball. It\u2019s really hard to have made it to the level that I did and then have it basically taken away, you know, kind of halted, because you have all those \u2018what ifs.\u2019 But, that said, I don\u2019t have any regrets. You know, everybody goes \u2018Why didn\u2019t you go back after you had surgery?\u2019 Because I had already found music at that point. Never for one second, since I started music, have I wondered if I was supposed to do this. This has always been very clear to me.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Major League Baseball\u2019s opening day is today, the same day Brett kicks off his 5 TOUR 3 2 1, with special guests Morgan Evans and Ashley Cooke.<\/p>\n
