That picture of him shaving his neck with the camp hatchet was a bit much. Pure nacho cheese.

Just watched the short ESPN piece on him. Seems like a good dude. Good luck to him. If all athletes were that humble the sports world would be more enjoyable to root for.

Good luck to the young man. Sounds like a good upbringing. His feet are on the ground unlike most who aren't in sports with fame and fortune.

On the surface it's a great story. But...

Sounds like he's already having major issues adjusting to this. It will only get worse if he becomes a good pitcher. I wouldn't be surprised if he had to retire soon to stay true to himself. And if he conforms then he'll be labeled a sell out or someone that changed once they got money...and clearly that will bother him. That "livin' in a van down by the river routine" is going to get old for his teammates as well. They will constantly have to answer questions about it.

by all accounts he lived a pretty normal life when traveling with the team. This is what he does in the off season and during spring training.

Hopefully that's the case.
