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.

"Acting like he was on the mound, doing his mechanics of pitching, swinging a bat," Porter said. "He was always doing that." (Hartford Courant)
