Before I read Alex Pietrangelo’s heartfelt and bittersweet column this morning for The Players Tribune, I didn’t think it was possible for me to respect and admire the guy more than I did when I fell asleep earlier this morning.
For the 15,000th time, I was wrong.
You need to read this story which-like all pieces on the site-are written by the players themselves. It’s important, well-written, and will make you love the captain of the St. Louis Blues even more than you currently do.
For me, I love learning about a player’s upbringing and hardships.
