Sugar Ray Marimón

I did a double take at the name Sugar Ray Marimón, half expecting the boxing legend, but this is a Colombian pitcher from Cartagena, and his path is its own kind of romance. He reached the mound for the Atlanta Braves and later carried his arm all the way to the KT Wiz in Korea's KBO League. The image of a kid from a Caribbean port city competing in a foreign country, in a foreign language and climate, on the strength of one pitching arm, genuinely moves me. The stat line may be modest, but the wanderlust of a baseball life like this is the real prize.
