My Take

Ervin Santana is the kind of pitcher I find easy to admire. A Dominican right-hander out of San Cristobal, born in 1982, who carved out a long Major League career across the Angels, Royals, Braves, Twins, and White Sox. Two All-Star nods and a 2011 no-hitter with the Angels are the headline moments, but what stands out to me is the sheer endurance of bouncing between franchises and still delivering. That no-hitter, thrown despite reportedly giving up an early run, tells you about his competitive stubbornness. He's a workhorse arc, and I have a soft spot for pitchers who keep grinding.

Overview
