My Take
Arencibia is the kind of ballplayer I respect more the longer I think about him. A Miami kid who came up through Tennessee and caught in the majors from 2010 to 2015 for the Blue Jays, Rangers, and Rays, he lived the grind of the game's most punishing position. Catchers rarely get the glory, yet they hold the whole defense together. What I like most is the second act: he became the Mets' catching coach, turning hard-earned knowledge into something he passes forward. That move tells me he loved the craft, not just the spotlight. Quietly admirable.
