Athlete of the Week

I’m gonna start a new segment on here, where I’m going to pick one athlete every week who, through their play or their actions outside of sports, has made a very positive impact on the world of sports.

This weeks athlete is Nelson Cruz, OF Texas Rangers

Cruz broke out of a slump in a big way on Friday, going 4 for 4 with 8 RBI's in a game against the Toronto Blue Jays. He was a triple shy of hitting for the cycle, as he hit two singles, a double and a 3 run homer in the game. Nelson had been 8-43 (.186) in his last 12 games before the Friday night outburst.
