Below are some of the wonderful claims that the beloved Paul Dunn made about his brushes with greatness. Tears of joy and warmed hearts can testify that the Spirit told all in the audiences where Dunn spoke that Dunn was absolutely telling the truth. The only way someone could suppose that Dunn wasn't telling the truth would be if the teaching about "feeling the Spirit" was full of bullcrap. But we rest assured thanks to the beloved Correlation program that this is nothing to worry about so we'll stay focused on obedience/service to the beloved church.
Keep in mind that compared to being a very important spokesman for the most honest, truthful, and transparent church in history in the dispensation of times as a General Authority, even a low-ranking GA, it would be pitiful obscurity for a baseball player to have a 1.000 batting average, home runs every at-bat, and MVP every year for 2+ decades. Well here are some of Dunn's brushes with famous MLB ball players that helped prepare him for brushing shoulders with the real major league players, i.e. the men who served in the First Quorum of the Seventy and other holy callings that let them sit in those tabernacle red chairs and be on the Ensign centerfolds.
• STAN MUSIAL. "When I was 18 years old, a rookie with
the St. Louis Cardinals, 1 reported to spring training."
There, he said, were some real pros like Stan Musial who
was "just climbing into his heyday."
• JOE DIMAGGIO. "As a young baseball player I once had
the honor and challenge of pitching against Joe
DiMaggio of the Yankees."
• TED WILLIAMS. "He was no slouch. I know; I have
pitched to him a time or two."
• WILLIE MAYS. "I pitched against Willie Mays as he
broke into baseball and I was leaving the scene."
• LOU GEHRIG. "You're going to be great," Gehrig told
Dunn, then a twelve -year-old bat boy for the Arkansas
Travelers, after Gehrig let the kid pitch to him during
batting practice.
• BABE RUTH. Another star that Dunn, as a bat boy, says
he threw to during batting practice.
• BOB FELLER. "If you ever want a lesson in humility, bat
against [Bob] Feller," Dunn said about his experience
during a servicemen's exhibition game during World
War II.
You can learn more about the St. Louis Cardinals players at
http://stlouis.cardinals.mlb.com/stl/history/players.jsp but I really don't have time to look up Dunn there so I won't. Besides the Brethren haven't told us its important. And even if they said it was important there are too many things to do, like scrubbing the chapel toilets, to allow me to have time anyway.
