It’s been 36 years since Warren Guerriero pitched at Hinds, but he finally received his just reward, the infamous “Ballsack“ keychain symbolizing Toughness and “Intestical” Fortitude day-in and day-out. The best “big game” pitcher in Hinds history. Well deserved.
Tough·ness /ˈtəfnəs/ n. – The ability to perform well on each pitch regardless of the situation or circumstances… the score, the level of competition, who’s pitching against you, bad umpires, losing the game, getting yelled at by your coach, self-perceived pressures, or any distractions that may cloud your thinking and your ability to compete as you were designed; Discipline. Confidence. Motivation. Determination. The Big Five. The sum of all five is called toughness. Toughness is a rare and seldom seen condition known medically as “Intestical Fortitude.“
