Nobody left in the Major League Baseball postseason could possibly be regarded as more anti-entitlement than Darren O’Day.
Thirteen years into one of the game’s most improbable journeys, the 37-year-old submarine reliever for the Atlanta Braves treasures every moment when a manager summons him to get batters out with his funky delivery.
O’Day, a Bishop Kenny High product who once seemed destined for a career either as a veterinarian or plastic surgeon after passing the FCAT exam, has instead been operating on batters since 2008 with five different teams.
“It’s a great story,” said former Bishop Kenny baseball coach Bob West.
