KrankinSox Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 Quite an accomplishment for both, but especially Jake Burger. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quin Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 Damn, they really liked how Yoelqui looked in that last game. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 What a moment for Jake Burger. Sox fans had pretty much given up the kid for dead after the first achillies, let alone the second one. The kid got to hit in a freaking made up baseball league for a month, and wasn't even invited to Schaumburg initially. Then he gets the late invite to the camp, and quietly goes about his business there. He shows up in camp this year having a grand total of 200 PAs in professional baseball, all at Low A in 2017. and then proceeds to hit like he hasn't missed a day of baseball. If you can't root for a kid like this, and be happy for his success, who can you root for? 11 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vilehoopster Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 Is this game on regular TV, one of the ESPNs or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great character and a great example of how mentally tough most athletes are. Edited July 1, 2021 by chitownsportsfan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
