Sean Doolittle and his girlfriend hosted 17 Syrian refugee families for Thanksgiving in Chicago.  Very nice move by them.

Same guy who offered to buy out the stadium on LGBT night, in response to complaints from season ticket holders:

I put this on my Facebook a few days back bragging him up as a fellow South Dakotan. Good on Doolittle.

I did not know he was born in Rapid City (although it sounds like grew up elsewhere, similar to Jason Kubel).

 

What a great place for a pitcher to be from, though -- Rapid City.
