The Corner

To the Max

In the movie Bull Durham, the character Crash Davis, played by Kevin Costner, is a catcher who plays 12 seasons in baseball’s minor leagues. Today, the Detroit Tigers have called up Max St. Pierre, a catcher who has spent 14 seasons in the minor leagues and tonight will wear a big-league uniform for the first time. So this is your feelgood story of the day.
