"NORFOLK, Va. — Sam Armstrong has waited a long time to be a professional baseball player.
"It's been a dream of mine since I was a little kid to be getting that call, obviously I'm antsy to get down there," says Armstrong. "Down there" is Arizona where he'll begin his career in the Chicago Cubs organization after they selected him in the 13th round of the MLB draft. He is extra antsy, however, because he was supposed to already BE there.
"Last night I was supposed to fly down to Arizona. We're on the runway getting ready to take off, there's something wrong with the plane and long story short the flight was cancelled." I guess when you've waited 20 years to become a pro, a few more days can't hurt."
