Eric played many sports in high school. He played baseball, basketball, football, and golf until a knee injury during his sophomore year in high school derailed his dreams of going pro. He told Greensboro.com a few years back, “I even played golf because, in my junior and senior years of high school, I realized that if you were a golfer, you got to leave at 10 a.m. to go to matches. You didn’t have to be at school all day, and, well, that’s me right there (laughs). So I picked up golf real quick when I realized you got to get out of class.”

I didn’t grow up in the Northeast or New England at all. But when I was a kid, growing up, we didn’t have cable.The only access to baseball I had was ‘This Week in Baseball,’ and I looked forward to that as a kid. The only games they had on Saturdays always seemed like the Red Sox or Cincinnati Reds.” He added, “I loved those two teams growing up. Even playing Little League, I wanted to be on either the Reds or the Sox as a kid, so that’s where it started.”
