Simply put….sweet, thoughtful, funny, and genuine. All of
these words may seem a cliché in describing a man, but every guy makes every
girl think and feel a certain way. Everyone can love, but everyone loves in a different
way and no one can love someone the same way twice. James is the kind of person
that gets roses for you when you say you are not feeling good. However, if James
were to describe himself….he would say that he “is a baseball player”.
Music artists are passion about music, writers are
passionate about books, and James Wharton is passionate about baseball. He has
been playing for his whole life and has many accomplishments. Last year James
was the MVP of his team at CSULA, he broke the Homerun record, and he got Male
Athlete of the Year in the entire sports department- impressive. Nevertheless,
to James, these awards are “nice”. His humbling and modest reaction to all his
success is inspiring and admirable; it shows the true colors of his genuine
honest personality.
Although James’s dreams of becoming a baseball player in the
MLB were cut short when he did not he make the draft, he still shines bright
with enthusiasm for the game. He is now an assistant coach on the team and coaches
3 league club teams for younger kids. He loves teaching, playing and watching
the game and he will continue to pursue his love baseball.
