My Take
I have a soft spot for pitchers like Matt Festa, the kind who survive on grit rather than hype. A Staten Island kid who has bounced between the Mariners, Mets, Rangers, and Guardians, he embodies the relentless churn of a big-league bullpen, where you re-earn your spot every outing. What I find genuinely moving is his choice to pitch for Italy, putting on the jersey of his roots. Stars get the headlines, but careers like his, built on persistence and adaptability, are the unsung backbone of the sport, and they are exactly the players I find myself rooting for.
