Why I love David Eckstein
We all know the guy is great. I mean, he’s a fine ballplayer who works his butt off. He runs to first on a walk, for Pete’s sake. He’s got that can-do attitude we Americans love. He gives 110% every day, and he’s just a good guy. He won MVP in the World Series last year, which earned him a new Corvette ZO6, and he gave it to his brother and continued to drive his Camry (or whatever run-of-the-mill car he owns). His family has been through hell and back with organ transplants, and he does lots of awareness campaigns on the issue of organ donation. You can practically see the guy’s halo glinting out there on the field.
