I tried to get a jersey from the team store (didn't wanna pay $325ish) and the sports store at the Mall of America in May and came up empty. I did find a jersey T shirt though, but yeah finding his stuff is a big of a challenge. Let's hope his stuff flows as freely from stores as Polanco and Kepler which I seemed to find everywhere.
This is the reason I like Arraez so much, he looks where a hole may be and tries to hit it that way instead of swinging for the fences. The homeruns I've seen him hit looked like they surprised him as much as it surprised those watching.
I would assume a guy who quotes the example of Jesus to explain his lack of participation in something that violates his religious convictions would also be aware that the example of Jesus requires them to love people, even those they disagree with. That's probably the most basic thing about the Christian religion.
As a fellow Christian, I would assume a guy who quotes the example of Jesus to explain his lack of participation in something that violates his religious convictions would also quote the example of Jesus when it comes to loving others.
Every company I've worked for had expectations clearly spelled out in the contract. And if it wasn't specifically documented, there was a religious exemption "opt out". I'm not sure what MLB or the Rays have but I would be curious.
You raise good points, it seems like once a team or a sports league opens it's doors to siding with a political/social side, they're asking to alienate a good sized population of fans.
Every company I've ever worked for had options for employees with "sincerely held religious beliefs" to opt out of any activity that violated their religious views, and that went for Christians, Muslims, etc.
The fact he raised his average 60 points in a month, rarely strikes out and draws walks consistently definitely makes him seem like the only player right now who could come close. He could be our generations Carew or Gwynn.
