So, in the sporting world today, it appears as though a top pitching prospect from Cuba has defected. He apparently left his Netherlands hotel and refuses to return. As you would imagine, the Yankees are in the process of scooping this "kid" up (emphasis on kid with estimated age ranging from 20 to 26). Funny that no one can find him but the Yanks.
The idea of defection has always fascinating me. It takes a certain type of country to "defect" from. I do not think I'd be called a defector if I decided to live in England, but certainly if I picked North Korea or Afghanistan. Guess it comes down to the intent of the person. Bit of obvious commentary here but it seems to me there's a fine line between defecting and committing treason. At any rate, this kid throws 100mph fastballs so he is more than welcome.
