C.J. Beatty From Australia 2015 Blogpost #3



Well the time has come and the Australian Baseball Season has ended. We missed the barely missed the playoffs but this season for me and my team was a blast. Playing for the Brisbane Bandits again this season has made me into a better baseball player and person. We fought super hard to get to the playoffs but at times it felt like the opposing team had 45 players on defense hahaha.

I leave to go back to the USA in about a week and I am happy to officially start my 2015 season. I'm heading to White Sox spring training motivated to show them what I have learned over in Australia and hopefully they will see what I have to offer. I would love to make it to the big leagues one day but I am very thankful to have played in some amazing places already. God has put a talent inside of me and I plan to continue to use it to reach and inspire others.

Thanks for the support from all my Cardinals Family. I will love you always. You were the very beginning for me in my professional career. The "2 Red Birds" on the bat will always hold a special place in my heart. Hey.........you never know.....CJ "HOLLYWOOD" BEATTY may roam the outfield in Busch Stadium one day

C.J. Beatty From Australia 2014 Blogpost #2



Good Afternoon or as we say in Aussie Land.....Good "Arvo". I just got back from Melbourne, Australia this morning so I have slept all day hahaha.

I was selected to play in the 2014 ABL All-Star Game and represent the World Team. It was a goal me and my family set before I came to Australia this season. To complete that goal was a great accomplishment. The All-Star game was sponsored by LEVI Jeans and aired on ESPN and MLB Network. I went 1 for 2 and started at third base. Grant Balfour threw out the first pitch and I was in awe to see one of baseball's best pitchers. We ended up losing the game because we ran out of pitching but it was all fun in the end.

Next goal on my list is to help my team get to our first playoff in the new ABL. You may not know what your calling in life may be.....but if you focus on winning the daily battles you will soon be within sight of your destination in no time. Playing in the ABL All-Star game might not be the Big Leagues but for that night I felt like a big leaguer. ESPN Game is so big to me and my family and I'm forever thankful for the opportunity to play.

This weekend we have Canberra coming in and we are hungry to not only win the series....but we are looking to get better as a team. Until next time family.
