His name is Reuben Mills Rogers, and he's currently playing for the Hagerstown Suns. If he makes it to the Show, he'll be on the Nationals unless traded.

He was recently called up from the GCL Nationals, and he was acting as the first base coach for the first few innings of the game. When third baseman Stephen King (no joke, that's the kid's actual ( Read more... )

He really is cute~ Good luck talking to him!

He IS, damnit! And thank you! (I'm such a weird catcher, liking infielders and all that...)

Oh, he is CUTE.

And you know considering my current situation with, uh, you know who, I'm going to keep pestering you to talk to him, right? /enable enable enable (I DO THIS OUT OF LOVE, STEOTH. ♥)

He IS. It's kind of not fair.

Hey, I'm going to the game on Saturday, so I'll see what I can do...I'll be scared out of my mind, but I'll try. (I BELIEVE YOU, MACY. ♥)

...do you seriously live in Hagerstown? Seriously? I freaking practically grew up playing in the city park! My GOD, it's one of my favorite places in the world. That's insane. WHY ARE WE NOT FRIENDS IN REAL LIFE? xD

Also WHOA. Hello, gorgeous. Talk to him. He's too pretty to pass up. x3 Do it for me, so I can live vicariously through you!!

I actually live in New Jersey and go to school in Gettysburg, so Hagerstown's only about an hour away from me eight months of the year. But it's lovely, I have to agree!

I'll see what I can do! Here's hoping I don't get shy and chicken out...

About 80%? Yikes - that's around hockey percentages, I think. It's not surprising, but still.

I'm very cautious about this, especially since I've never been in a relationship with anybody before (I royally fail with boys), so I guess I'll take it step by step and see how it goes. Most likely nothing will happen, given my luck.

I'm only repeating what I heard on Tumblr there (although admittedly some of the less mature hockey fans there feed off drama, so it might have just been to stir the pot). And I agree - football's gotta be the worst.

He's in single A at this point, so he's lucky that people know his name. If he's standoffish when I ask him to sign something, that's totally a red flag there...and you're right, that'll be the end of that.
