Carleton Student’s Essay Featured on MPR Blog
Minnesota Public Radio’s On Campus blog posted an entry on Dec. 7 entitled “College Essays That Work,” and featured the essay of Evan Summers ’14. His essays starts out recalling another loss by his favorite team, Major League Baseball’s Kansas City Royals. “That ball is hit well. It goes back, deep, gone! Another home run for Chicago, and the Royals trail by eight.” I am accustomed to listening to Denny Mathews, the long time voice of the Kansas City Royals, make these types of calls on hot, steamy evenings in the middle of July. Denny, a rare survivor, has actually seen a winning and successful Kansas City Royals team. To be honest, I am not sure I even believe the stories about the Royals’ once perpetual success. Sure there is plenty of evidence, but it is just so hard for me to imagine a championship in my hometown.
