Borrowed........His name is .........Evan Gattis. He is the DH for the World Champion Houston Astros. His tears are different tears. He was one of the highest rated catchers in the country coming out of high school. He signed on to catch for Texas A&M. He never made it to College Station because of his deeply embedded anxiety issues. Those issues led him to substance abuse. He quit baseball. At one point in his life he was homeless in New York City & begging for food. Through a friend, he got himself into a treatment center in California. He found himself. He found his love for baseball while he was there. Through another friend, he found a small college that gave him a shot to catch for them. 10 years later, through the love of his friends, family and treatment, Evan Gattis is a World Series Champion. I told you his tears were different.

They had a pic of him hugging and crying another player......
