On May 7, 10 years ago, the Chicago Cubs’ Starlin Castro made his debut. It’s no doubt he botched the ball in the field–but he was an excellent hitter and a sparkling personality.

It’s true. The Chicago Cubs’ Starlin Castro did juggle the ball at times. But he was an immaculate hitter and the best teammate Chicago has ever seen, generally speaking. That’s why when he was traded to the New York Yankees and then to the Miami Marlins, it was a sad day for Cubs fans.
