Well, Theo, I love baseball. I could give you more reasons than there are days in a year and most defy logic. The man above is one of the reasons.
Buster Posey is the near-pubescent phenom catcher for the San Francisco Giants. By opening day, he will have turned twenty-six years old. He has amassed two World Series' rings, a batting title, and an MVP. Three of those came after what to most appeared to be a career-ending injury defending home plate.
For those of you who cannot wait until opening day, here are two great articles, one is about Posey's prodigious talent and the other was about what it took for him to get back on the field after the nightmarish injury. Enjoy.
