As baseball fans, it happens to us on many occasions that the love for the sport prompts us not only to watch ball games but also to follow our favorite players on social networks, inform us a little more about their lives outside the baseball field or discover very interesting facts about their personalities.
Although our favorite player seems to us an extraordinary person, the truth is that most are simple people, with tastes, defects and passions just like an ordinary person.
