As a young bat boy for the Cocoa Astros of the Florida State League, Clint Hurdle knew he wanted to play professional baseball. So, when faced with the decision to attend the University of Miami or Harvard, he chose neither and declared himself eligible for the MLB draft and started his career. He found a way to make it work.
After 10 years as a player he decided he wanted to stay in the league and begin a coaching career. With no prior experience and having to start at the bottom of the ladder, he found a way and ultimately became the manager of the Colorado Rockies.
In 2007 with his team facing seemingly insurmountable odds to even make the playoffs, Hurdle found a way. He led the Rockies to victory in twenty-one of twenty-two games to close out the season and throughout the playoffs, making it all the way to the World Series against the Boston Red Sox. (Thankfully that's where the streak ended).
When along the journey the bottle was throwing too many fast balls his way, he found a way to quit drinking. And when he was fired by the Colorado Rockies and felt God was calling him to share the Bible across his connections in baseball and the community, he found way. He started a "text ministry", sharing God's word to over 500 people daily, including the GM from the Rockies who fired him. When he feels like quitting, he finds a way to keep going.
