Columnist steps up to plate again
Shroyer tries out for Kansas baseball team
Dusting off his glove, Shawn Shroyer, Kansan columnist, charged the baseball field for one more inning in the dirt. Though tryouts were a good opportunity for a column, it was also Shroyer's chance to pick up a ball again. Almost 20 players tried
out over a two-week span in hopes of becoming Kansas baseball players. An already-full roster proved to be tough odds as all left disappointed. It's back to the newsroom for Shroyer where he reclaims his role in the press box.

Shroyer and his father, Kelly, practice together on the Saturday morning before tryouts the coming week. As Shroyer fielded the baseballs, the two reminisced about old times on the baseball field.

BELLOW, Shroyer was determined to do his best at tryouts. He formed a different relationship with the coaches he once pounded with questions. For two weeks, he was one of their players.
