Springer went to UConn?
yeah his team hosted a regional and lost to Oregon. Matt Barnes, Nick Ahmed, Scott Oberg, Mike Olt all played in the bigs and were on that team too. And then they had like 7 other dudes from that team sprinkled around the minors.
Cubs get Quintana and I love it. Eloy Jimenez is going to be a monster with crazy power but we needed young pitching badly and maybe he can jump start this season for us. Great move for future as well... All Hail Theo

yeah pretty well documented. he's the spokesperson for some group that helps kids overcome it.
he's a much more confident guy than me to handle it the way he does. he doesn't turn down any interviews and will talk about it if asked. i'm not sure i could that.
to be honest, i could barely tell he stuttered. I heard about it cause he got interviewed at the MLB AS Game but I was listening for stuttering and if anything, the worst it sounded like was someone a tad nervous. Figured itd be a lot worse.

he sounds like his mic keeps cutting out. i'm sure he's learned to handle it much better than when he was a kid. it can't be an easy thing

“It’s a bleaching cream that I apply before going to bed and whitens my skin some,” Sosa said on Univision’s “Primer Impacto” program. “It’s a cream that I have, that I use to soften [my skin], but has bleached me some. I’m not a racist, I live my life happily.
“What happened was that I had been using the cream for a long time and that, combined with the bright TV lights, made my face look whiter than it really is. I don’t think I look like Michael Jackson.”
