I’ve always been a supporter of the underdog. The player who was an afterthought. The guy who seems to be there to fill a spot on a roster. Nobody but the player himself and his coaches thinks he is worth being there. Maybe its the Andy Warhol in me. I want to see that 15 minutes of fame. More than that, its great to see them succeed beyond that 15 minutes. Jerrod Dyson comes to mind most recently. Terrance Gore of the Kansas City Royals is one of those guys.
Looking at his career statistics, you wouldn’t think he would ever make a major league club.
