You have to hand
it to the Pittsburgh Pirates—they go out of their way to look for talent. Eight years ago, they signed the two winners
of a baseball-throwing reality TV show in India with the idea of turning them
into pitchers. And this week, they
brought up infielder Gift Ngoepe, the first-ever MLB player born in Africa, who
just so happened to take the roster spot of pitcher Dovydas Neverauskas, the
second-ever MLB player to be born in Lithuania.
So diverse, yet
so very much the same. All of the above players
happen to be male. Females, apparently,
aren’t worth the Pirates’ time, or of any other MLB team, for that matter.
