Orville Hodge is the average kid on the block. Born without a silver spoon in his mouth, he didn't have a rich uncle. Nor did he come from a family of celebrity like the president and CEO of a large corporation, famous athlete, or movie star. He didn't graduate from some prestigious college or university. And being shy, he often faced ridicule and exclusion from the circle of friends he so desperately desired to be a part of. The boy learned through the college-of-hard-knocks. He worked hard and played by all the rules. Eat right; get a good night's sleep; and do what you're told was the rule-of-the-day. The farm boy from Indiana faced the devastating and crippling circumstances of tradition. Yet with a burning passion to succeed, he conquered all the obstacles and false hopes to eventually become a professional major league baseball player. "God must've been in favor of the average person because He made so many of them." A motto Orville learned to live by.
