"E5" - the real story...

[BigCecil]

Many of you have seen this Brunt article/film documentary on Edwin. Posting it for those who haven't.

 

One of the best pieces I've ever seen of a guy who came from humble roots he has never lost...and who fought through later adversity, that we all witnessed, to become an amazing professional baseball player. Even if he never hit another home run for us its a very cool story.

yes, its a couple months old. I think it came out in April when EE was just getting his stroke down for 2014.

Thanks.

Yeah, it was good. Shall watch again, as I think it may have been on at some ungodly hour for me.

I didn't watch it, but I did read the article, it was quite well done. Brunt is very good at the schmultz.

He doesn't or at least I've never heard of such a thing.

He uses Luis Rivera as an interpreter

 

Just a quote from earlier on in the season "Encarnacion set the tone early by blasting his 200th career homer in the second inning.

 

"[i'm] swinging at better pitches, [i'm] more confident and [i'm] feeling great at the plate," Encarnacion said through translator Luis Rivera."

 

ehh doesn't matter.

[Stangstag]

Idk... When he signed his extension he didnt use a translator at the press conference.

[Convo]

Meh, he just doesn't feel comfortable in front of a mic with his english.

 

Ahh

Saw it when it first came out and was amazed at how they play in the streets with such a small pieces of stick and are still able to hit the bottle tops - they must have a good eye.
