Bill James, the influential baseball writer, historian and statistician, once described the great Yankee first baseman Don Mattingly in only six words: “One-hundred percent ballplayer, zero percent bull----.”
The same can be said of Alon Leichman, the first athlete born in Israel to make it to the major leagues, having just been named assistant pitching coach of the Cincinnati Reds.

My dad got to enjoy 3 Reds World Championships by the time he was my age. So far, I've only gotten to enjoy one. Step it up Redlegs!
