An alarm clock. That was one of the first purchases 25-year-old David Shinskie made as a college freshman. The days of sleeping until noon following late night minor-league baseball games have been replaced by 6AM weight-training workouts and two summer classes at Boston College.
"The college scene gets kind of hectic at times but it's starting to become routine," Shinskie told FanHouse.
"It was a little awkward at first but also fun at the same time to listen to what these guys have to say. I feel comfortable. It's going well. My mom always has said things happen for a reason. I was released and now I am here at Boston College trying to make this team better."
It seems to be perfect timing for the Eagles and pitcher-turned-quarterback Shinskie.
