Major League Keith
Before he became a country artist, Keith Anderson considered the idea of a career in Major League Baseball, and he was good enough that he caught the attention of the Kansas City Royals. However, Keith suffered a shoulder injury that derailed those dreams, but he still is a big fan of the game, even while it endures controversy over steroid use.
"Unfortunately, baseball's taken a hit lately, just because there's so much going on," Keith says. "I have no doubt it's gonna come back and they'll get through these things right now. But I think it's just such a great, relaxing thing. You can go there and hang out all day, especially in the summertime — the great weather, get a cold beer or a soft drink or whatever, a hot dog, and not only watch the game, but there's so much going on. The people-watching, the things going on between [innings] — it's just a great time to take a friend, take whatever and hang out and just catch up on life. It's a great, relaxing thing to do."
