McSwain In The Big Leagues
Does Apples Proud
Theonethatdidntgetaway
Nashville, TN
The written statement released by the Apples today said it all. "It is with pride and excitement that we today learned of the amazing performance turned in over the weekend by former future Apple Houston McSwain."
The Apples press release came on the heels of the ESPN broadcast that broke the story of McSwains 2nd place finish in the Tennessee BassMasters 2009 State Tournament. McSwain, fishing with 'Team Lexington Renegades' was all smiles as he recorded his best finish to date in the highly coveted BassMaster series.
"Sure it would have been nice to grab the top spot but considering I haven't thrown a jig or cranked a spinner since July, I'll take it." McSwain, who normally fishes year round, had been off the lake since late July when he injured his casting arm in what has been called a "wedding night accident"
Fighting back tears as he accepted the trophy for his teams runner up weekend outing, McSwain first thanked his sponsors Yamaha and the Apples before adding, "most of all I want to thank my bride, she has given me lots of reasons to stay home the past few months and I really appreciate her letting me out this weekend."
McSwain, who married Apple infielder Tiffany Smith ( McSwain ) then added that he hoped his good fortune would lead to renewed time on the lake this fall. "I'm pretty much off the hook until Thanksgiving with the in laws so I should get a few more tournaments under my belt before the holiday's." "Please don't quote me on that" added McSwain as he packed up his rods and reels and headed home.
With his performance over the weekend, McSwain once again showed all that even though first known for their excellence on the softball field, it is only a matter of time before someone, somewhere will cause us all to hear that now famous cheer..........
How bout them Apples!!
Way to go Houston...
