Creative Minority Reader: Pittsburgh Pirates’ Second Baseman on the Gift of Life

Trent Beattie reports:

Neil Walker has been able to live out a childhood dream of playing for his hometown Pittsburgh Pirates. After being taken in the first round of the 2004 Major League Baseball Draft, he diligently worked his way through the minor leagues. He made his major-league debut as a pinch hitter in September of 2009, and he has been the team’s second baseman since 2010.
