Since Kindergarten, Matt Harvey Knew He'd Be Pitching In The World Series

Posted Oct 27, 2015
Two decades ago, the kindergarten students in Mike Porter's physical education class at S.B. Butler Elementary School gathered before class. Some formed circles, some stretched, some chased butterflies. Out of the corner of his eye, Porter saw one boy by himself. Matt Harvey was mimicking a baseball player. "Acting like he was on the mound, doing his mechanics of pitching, swinging a bat," Porter said. "He was always doing that." (Hartford Courant)
