Yes, he’s talented, but sitting in that chair is a smart kid, too! Through guidance from his parents, Branden has known all along that talent alone wasn’t going to take him anywhere. Talent is cheaper than table salt, because it comes naturally. What separates the talented individual from the successful one is a lot of hard work. You have earned this, young man. Congratulations!
Go METS!
Congratulations, THE New York METS are an AMAZING team!
Awesome!! Congrats! We know u will do great!
Way to go Branden!!! Congratulations!! Like Wanda said ” Like Father, Like son”.
Congratulations Mr Fryman and good luck.
Now is the time to start planning for your retirement and post sports career life.
Like father, like son. Congratulations.
