Mud Hens were just one step below the Majors. Grayson shared that he prayed half of the night before the match and even before the game began. But he lost the match, as he pitched the 'most awful game of his life.' After this loss, Grayson till the age of 40 tried his luck in the game but at last, accepted that he was made for menial jobs only.
