My Take
Lance Painter is, to me, one of baseball's quietly remarkable outliers. An Englishman born in Bedford who became a U.S. citizen before the 1994 season and pitched in the Major Leagues is a story you simply do not hear. Bouncing between the Rockies, Cardinals, Blue Jays and Brewers, he made 28 starts but lived mostly as a reliever, the unsung role that keeps games alive. I admire the nerve it took for a Brit to break into America's national pastime as a left-hander. His Cancerian persistence carved out a place few outsiders ever reach.
