One of my favorite up and coming players,Alex Gordon,came through town with AA witchita to play the tulsa AA team.
He was 2-4,with an rbi double,single,and 2 K`s.He also made a "web gem" type play at third.A ball was absolutely tagged down the line,he slides,backhands it,and throws to 2nd to start the double play which killed the rally.
Then after the game I went down to the visitors dugout to see if I could get a closer look(even got his autograph)and he was HUGE.His forearms were the biggest forearms I have ever seen in person(and I have seen giambi,a-rod,and vlad just to name a few)
Heck of a player,and its very clear he works hard to get where he is at.
