• The father-of-two has lost 150 pounds and trains every day with the hopes of joining the big leagues after he graduates at the age of 42 
• Stoddard said opposing teams and coaches used to laugh at him, but now everyone has seen his dedication and drive 
• And although he has suffered a number of injuries, Stoddard said he will continue to work as hard as he can to see how far his skill can go
