He fought hard. Got injured, went to the minors to get game time, doesn't speak the language, in a foreign country, first time in the MLB, worked diligently to get himself back, came back, learned a couple new pitches. Then he brung it. He performed. Helped us win it. Legend.
How unbelievably lucky. His first year in the US and with a new team and he can be called a World Series Champion. Most players don’t even get to experience one World Series.
@@patron40silver MLB is harder and it's not really close for a number of factors. Only argument for the WBC is adapting to new teammates if you haven't previously played with your country.
