MLB misc.

First, an article about Devil Rays outfielder Delmon Young's strong throwing arm, but I wanted to point out a quote about his arm from Twins outfielder Torii Hunter, a Christian:

"Delmon Young was born with a cannon, " said Twins outfielder Torii Hunter, known for his strong arm. "It's a God-given ability. It's something special."

Here's the article: http://www.sptimes.com/2007/05/09/Rays/Cannon_in_the_outfiel.shtml (originally found at: http://mlb.mlb.com/pa/news/article.jsp?ymd=20070511&content_id=1958344&vkey=mlbpa_news&fext=.jsp).

Next, a few of the MLB "Mother's Day Postcards". The first is from Cubs outfielder Matt Murton, a Christian. Here's a quote:

When I was 6 years old, I always felt I had to go some place quiet to talk to God, and I would sit under the kitchen table. Thanks, Mom, for sitting there quietly while I had my talks....

Next, Devil Rays shortstop Ben Zobrist, a Chrisitan:

Thank you so much for your example of your faith in Jesus in your life....

Also, Phillies shortstop Jimmy Rollins, also a Christian:

...My mother is beautiful for many more reasons that can't be put into words, but more than all she's beautiful because God blessed me to be her son. I love you mom.

The last one of the Mother's Day postcards is from Yankees catcher Wil Nieves:

...I'm here in the Major Leagues because of God and because of you.

Lastly, a good article from Mother's Day about Reds outfielder Josh Hamilton's wife Katie, both Christians: http://news.enquirer.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070513/SPT04/705130364/1071/rss08.
