Early Years

Young Billy Cooper always had an athletic frame. He had a rocket arm and a love for baseball and men, I mean pitching. He was highly recruited by all the major colleges. But Bill Cooper was destined for far bigger things than being educated.

The Big Show

Bill got his big break with the Cinncinatti Reds. Bill blazed onto the scene joing forces with fellow fireballers, Rob Dibble and Norm Charlton, forming the nasty boys. Bill mowed down batter after batter in his dreams. Stepping on the real mound however proved to be far more difficult. In his tryout his limp fastball was feasted on by Barry Larkin, while his hanging curveballs were slammed by Chris Sabo. Outfielder Eric Davis, "that was the hardest I've ever seen a pitcher get hit." Bill was quickly released.

Redemption

Robbed of his chance to be the Michael Sam of baseball, Bill joined a slow pitch softball league. Proving he was cheated by the Reds, Bill became an icon. He made multiple All Star teams. I know this because he wears the shirts to work as a daily reminder of his greatness.

Today

Bill Cooper will not fail. After his softball career ended as well, he has become a highly successful union electrician. He runs a talented crew of union workers who marginally respect him. Bill Cooper is a role model to all.
