Jacksonville native Brett Myers made a living in the Major Leagues for 12 years and now his "pitch" is helping him embark on a second career.
Life as a pitcher for the Philadelphia Phillies included a lot of downtime, which he spent scribbling down lyrics.
Now, Myers is not only focusing more time on writing songs but also singing them as well.
Performing live won't be entirely foreign to the Englewood High School graduate who won 97 games in the bigs and a World Series ring in 2008.
After a first album named Backwoods Rebel, Myers is set to release his second album and take the next step in his music career, a full concert at Mavericks in the Jacksonville Landing downtown.
In addition to the pressure of performing in professional sports, Myers got a taste of singing in front of a crowd with a halftime performance at a Jacksonville Sharks game earlier this summer.
With the big concert scheduled for Friday, August 19, Myers hopes to be pitch perfect once again.
