Drew da goat

[@paullentz1972]

Dude has a MLB career batting average of .333 with a .500 slugging and an OPS of .833. Those are borderline HOF numbers...however given that he's only had 6 career MLB at-bats....I doubt that Cooperstown will be knocking on his door. While he'll probably never hit a MLB homer...he does have a double and an RBI. Better than most players whose picked up a bat and played baseball.

factual he he proudly live the rest of his life knowing HE DID IT he made it, no one can take that from him

[@cmorales5]

Great story. The woman at his left was trying hard not to look at Adonis....

Projecting.

​@@ordinarypeteThank you. Hate this BS.

AA? how bad is this player? Most would have retired, get into management

[@Bobaman5400]

Obviously not bad at all or he wouldnt even be in the minors. Most players dont even get that far. Obviously he never gave up, wanted to stay in the trenches & isnt interested in managing. Its called "loving the game". It paid off in many ways too bc he had an mlb debut. He gets the pension & is now officially in the books as a pro. More than most can say.
