Very interesting and cool path. I love the guys who find their way to success in different ways.

If you have time, look up his story. Local boy from Odessa (a small town just outside of KC). Drafted in the 20th round. Injured in the head twice in the minors. Converted to a submarine pitcher. Finally broke into the majors as a 28 year old. Set an MLB record for most innings to start a career w/o an earned run (39 innings). Now he’s found a solid role as a bull pen guy. Nice guy too.
