On Monday, on MLK Day of Service, the Philadelphia Phillies up and comer Roman Quinn was giving back.
The outfield prospect became the first major leaguer to hold a baseball clinic for kids from the Phillies Urban Youth Academy Program at the newly-opened Ryan Howard Training Center in South Philadelphia.
"It's the first time ever in my life that I did something like this on Martin Luther King Day. It's a special for me," Quinn said.
Quinn has a dream of his own - to crack the Phillies Opening Day roster.
"I heard a couple times from a couple of the coaches that I have a pretty good chance. As long as I stay healthy. I end up doing it, just enjoy the game, just realize it's the same game," Quinn said.
Quinn, the Phillies second round pick in 2011, has a legit shot to make the jump from AA to Opening Day.
He made his major league debut during September call-ups. In 15 games, he got on base and showed off his signature speed.
But for now, he's working hard to help these youngsters make some jumps of their own.
"Just to have a dream and follow it. Do whatever you can to make it happen. Work hard and work towards something, whether professionally they want to be a doctor, a lawyer, whatever they want to do, just have something to work towards," Quinn said.
