Peralta seeing the ball better....

Here's a link to a national story:  http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/news;_ylt=Ap1xVN6BKJsc0lWRGuacvRsRvLYF?slug=ap-playoffnotebook&prov= ap&type=lgns

Not a single word, of course, about how he overcame paralysis in his left side.  How typical!!!

And now for the sake of the character count:

Not a single word, of course, about how he overcame paralysis in his left side.  How typical!!!

Re: Peralta seeing the ball better....
Haha I'd never read that arm paralysis article by Jay! Too funny. Here it is for other newbies.

And Jay you'll be proud to know that a Google search of "Peralta paralysis" has your article as the first hit. Congrats.

Re: Peralta seeing the ball better....
Many thanks, Mario.  I wouldn't have known how to find that.

Re: Peralta seeing the ball better....
Thanks for the link.  Like Ken, I would not have found the article but recall that it was quite funny.  In fact, I found that it set the tone for the season.  (Though there was a PD article about the preparation classes for rookies that happened in December/January, but I can't find that article)

It might be appropriate to have an Awards thread, highlighting top diaries, threads, posts and other honors.

Nothing until after the season, I'd say. I'm sure we'll have more than enough time to kill.

Gonna be some tough competition - but this is more of a hot stove league typa deal.  But I like the idea - who's gonna get a vote?

Re: Peralta seeing the ball better....
Agree with both of you.  I just hope I did not cross the line by looking too far ahead.  We've got a big mountain to climb tonight.

Re: Peralta seeing the ball better....
Well, it's not like you could have jinxed us.  One way or another, there is going to be an offseason.
