He's living in a Holiday Day Inn, doing his own laundry, making his own meals and paying his own bills with the ultimate summer job in Florida.

Nick Tindall is living the dream, one that he has prepared for since he was 10. The recent O'Fallon High School graduate is toiling for the Minnesota Twins' Rookie League team, the Gulf Coast Twins, in Fort Myers, Fla., after the 17th-round draft pick (522nd overall) signed with the club on June 17.

"It feels like I've been away from home for a while, but it's only been two weeks," Tindall said. "It seems like the high-school season went by so fast. I can picture myself playing freshman baseball, and now it's over and I'm getting paid to play."
