Markii uu yaraa Minnetonka ma jirin ciyaar uusan jeclayn Jim Brower. Waxa uu ku lug lahaa ciyaaraha sanadka oo dhan isagoo u ciyaarayay kubbadda koleyga dhalinyarada, kubbadda koleyga iyo baseball ee qaar ka mid ah kooxaha ugu kartida badan aagga. Dhab ahaantii, Jim wuxuu xubin ka ahaa kooxdii 1985 East Tonka taasoo ka dhigtay dhammaan dariiqa Taxanaha Adduunka ee Little League.

Nasiib darro kooxdu kuma aysan guuleysan horyaalka, inkastoo Jim uu u saftay siddeed kooxood oo Kubadda Koleyga Major League, haddana waxaa laga soo xigtay isagoo leh, "Weli waa mid ka mid ah waqtiyadii ugu fiicnaa xirfadeyda baseball, waxaana ahaa 12."

Guusha Jim waxay sii socotay ilaa dugsiga sare. Isaga oo ah arday labaad, waxa uu ahaa saddex-ciyaarood oo ku bilaabay kubbadda kolayga, kubbadda cagta iyo baseball ee MHS. Waxa uu sidoo kale xubin ka ahaa kooxaha orodka iyo bowling-ka (wuxuu qoray dhammaan shanta isboorti).

Fasalka 11aad, waxaa caddaatay in kubbadda koleyga iyo kubbadda koleyga ay ahaayeen meeshii Jim uu heer sare ka gaaray. Jim wax gool ah kama dhalin Eden Prairie isaga oo yaraa, waxaana uu ahaa nin sare oo kubbadda koleyga ah waxa uu dhigay rikoorka dhibcaha ugu badan ee kulan laga dhaliyo (40). Waxaa loo yaqaanaa cayaaryahan ka go'an, Jim wuxuu ogaa sida loo shaqeeyo si adag iyo dadaalka ay qaadanayso si loo xaqiijiyo riyadiisa ah inuu noqdo cayaaryahan xirfadle ah.

"Ma jiraan fursado badan oo waaweyn oo aad ku raadsan karto allabar la'aan," Jim ayaa yidhi, "Waxaan sameeyay doorashooyin 16 jir. Ma aanan tagin fasaxa gu'ga sababtoo ah waxay ahayd ka hor inta aan la isku dayin baseball." Baseball-kuna wuxuu u noqon lahaa mid ka mid ah fursadahaas weyn ee Jim.

Matoorka gacanta midig ee Skippers, Jim wuxuu lahaa kubbadda degdega ah ee 91 MPH, mid ka mid ah kuwii ugu fiicnaa wixii markaas ahaa Shirka Lake Blue. Markii uu sarsare ahaa, wuxuu ku helay All-Conference iyo All-State sharafyada baseball waxaana si weyn u shaqaaleysiiyay dhowr kooxood oo Qaybta I ah. Waxaa laga saaray dugsiga sare, laakiin wuxuu doortay inuu dhigto Jaamacadda Minnesota halkaas oo loogu magacaabay baseball Big Ten All-Star 1994.

"Laga bilaabo horaantii Jimmy wuxuu haystay wax walba oo uu u baahan yahay si uu u guuleysto oo ay ku jiraan karti, xamaasad iyo adkeysi," ayuu yiri Jim's hore ee Minnetonka Baseball Myles Ginther.

Jim waxaa diyaariyey Texas Rangers 1994. Intii uu ku jiray xirfadiisa xirfadeed wuxuu u ciyaaray siddeed kooxood oo Kubadda Koleyga Major League ah oo ay ku jiraan Hindida, Braves, Padres iyo Giants, kuwaas oo uu kula guuleystay koobab horyaalka heerka koowaad. Tirakoobkiisa xirfadeed waxaa ka mid ah 128 guul oo cajiib ah, 37 badbaadin iyo in ka badan 1,300 shaqo joojin. Waxa uu sidoo kale heystaa rikoorka Giants ee tirada ciyaaraha la dhigay xilli ciyaareed.

Laga soo bilaabo MLB Jim wuxuu aaday Japan muddo sanad ah wuxuuna dhawaan ku dhameystay xilli xilli-ciyaareedka Rimini ee Talyaaniga. Hadda oo ku soo laabtay Minnesota isaga iyo xaaskiisa, Jessica, iyo gabadhooda, Landry, Jim wuxuu dib u milicsaday xirfaddiisii kubbadda koleyga iyo waqtigiisii Dugsiga Sare ee Minnetonka wuuna ku faraxsan yahay inuu sameeyay doorashooyinkii uu sameeyay. Ma aha oo kaliya in Jim lagu xasuusan doono inuu ahaa ciyaaryahan kubbadda koleyga ah oo karti leh, laakiin sidii qof raacay dareenkiisa oo ku noolaa riyadiisii.
