Well now, let me tell ya ’bout this young fella, Joey Gallo, and how he went and did somethin’ mighty impressive. You see, back in the day when he was still in high school, he done pitched himself a no-hitter and went to prom with Greg Maddux’s daughter, Paige, all in the same day. Now, I ain’t much for them fancy baseball stats, but I reckon that’s somethin’ most folks only dream about. I can’t even imagine what that musta been like, doin’ somethin’ like that, ’cause let me tell ya, I ain’t never been much for throwin’ balls, much less a no-hitter.
Joey Gallo, now, he’s a big name in the baseball world. They say he’s got power in them arms like nobody else. He can hit home runs like it’s nothin’. But what I reckon is real special is that day in high school. Now, mind you, I ain’t sayin’ it wasn’t a bit nerve-wrackin’. After all, what’s a young man supposed to do when he’s got the pressure of pitchin’ a no-hitter hangin’ over him and then gotta worry ’bout askin’ a pretty girl like Paige Maddux to prom?
Now, Greg Maddux, he’s a legend in his own right. Been around the baseball block more times than I can count, and if ya ask me, he’s one of the best pitchers ever. And here comes Joey Gallo, takin’ his daughter out on prom night. I reckon that’s somethin’ you’d only see in a movie, don’t ya think? But it wasn’t just a movie for Joey. He lived it.
That day must’ve been a whirlwind for the young fella, no doubt ’bout that. A no-hitter, that’s when a pitcher don’t let nobody hit the ball, not even once! That’s a big deal in baseball, y’know. And then, after all that pressure on the field, he gotta put on his best suit and take Paige Maddux to prom like it’s the easiest thing in the world. I don’t know how he did it, I really don’t. But I reckon Joey Gallo’s got a way of makin’ the impossible look mighty easy.
If y’all don’t know, Gallo’s from Las Vegas, and he’s been makin’ waves in the baseball world for a while now. He’s one of them sluggers you hear ’bout, and boy, can he hit! But I reckon it ain’t just about the swing of the bat with this fella. He’s also known for his skills in the outfield, catchin’ them hard-to-reach balls like it’s nothin’. A fella like him, he don’t come ’round too often.
Now, I’m sure a lot of folks heard ’bout Joey Gallo and his no-hitter, but I bet not many know ’bout him takin’ Paige Maddux to prom. That’s somethin’ that’s gonna stick with him for a long time, and it’s a good story to tell down the road. I suppose sometimes life hands ya them moments that are just too good to be true. Pitched a no-hitter, went to prom with Greg Maddux’s daughter. What more could a young man ask for?
Of course, life goes on, and Joey Gallo’s gone on to do even bigger things in the world of baseball. He’s a real hitter now, playin’ for the Los Angeles Dodgers. But even if he hits home runs for a livin’, I’m sure that day in high school, when he pitched that no-hitter and took Paige Maddux to prom, still shines bright in his memory.
I don’t know if folks will remember Joey for his prom date or his no-hitter, but I reckon both are mighty good reasons to remember him. That day’s one for the books, and I don’t think you can top that in high school, not for a long time anyway.
Joey Gallo’s Big Day

Sometimes, life gives ya stories you just gotta tell. And I reckon that’s one of ‘em.
