John Petry
John Robert Petry, born August 2nd, 1989 is a up and coming rapper from Queens, New York. Currently he is enrolled as a sophmore in New York Institute of Technology taking up Physical Therapy. The only thing that has been more passionate to Petry then his lyrics is baseball.

Early Life
Petry started writing lyrics as early as the age of 13 with Eminem being a big influence of his song topics. Many of his early lyrics focused on the break up with him and his girlfriend after she cheated of him at a house party. After graduating from I.S. 119 and being accepted to Francis Lewis High School, Petry put aside writing for a while and shined on his high school baseball team. Making the team in his Freshman year, he was immediately made the starting left fielder. Although he struggled at the plate through out the season, there was no doubts about his feilding capabilities, making several diving, sliding and over the head catching in his first 16 game season. With the season on the line and with the Fracnis Lewis Patriots at a .500 record, Petry took the mound for the first time against Richmond Hill High School. This would be his only start of the season, but a crucial one at that. Petry got the win in a 5-4 decision, where he was plaqued with 3 errors to help Richmond Hill produce 3 unearned runs. Petry's only hit of the season came not long after that against Forest Hills High School, whom they were fighting for the third place spot with. The winner of this game would go on to the playoffs and with 0 outs in the bottom of the 7th inning and a 1-1 scored game Petry came up to the plate. Given the bunt signal, Petry attempted to bunt and missed twice. Now with a 2-2 count, the pitch was thrown and Petry bunted the ball between first and home and beat the throw out to get the inning started. Ori Kairey came up to the plate and gave Petry the steal sign form the batters box against the coaches judgement. Petry listened and took off to second base and slide in hard causing the ball to be missed by the shortstop and go rolling into centerfield allowing Petry to take third base as well. Ori struck out and Andrew Stamatis came up to the plate lifting a fly ball that allowed Petry to tag up from third and score the winning run. At the end of the season Petry had a 1-0 record with a 2.00 ERA and 1 save but a .067 batting average.
