Rafael Furcal was arrested for throwing a missile into a car

Furcal had good arm strength, but I doubt he's throwing missiles at 47.

He's three days shy of 34, but somehow he seems as old as time.

I looked him up, and he has a career WAR of -0.1. The baseball career equivalent of a mug of lukewarm water.

His pitching arm aged 50 years just while he was with the Cards.

Yadi’s son and nephew play on the same HS team here in Austin. Unsurprisingly, that team is now one win away from playing in the state championship.

I had no idea either?
In a recent phone call with The Athletic, Molina detailed changes in his personal life. He and Wanda, his wife of nearly 18 years, sold their home in Puerto Rico a few months ago and moved to Austin, Texas, with their three children: Yanuell (Yanu, 16), Adrianna (14) and Daniel (8). The move centered around better high school baseball opportunities for Yanu, who is in the middle of his junior season at Lake Travis High School.

Yanu’s baseball season currently has all of Molina’s attention.

Molina is a regular at his games. He blocks out the latter part of his week, Thursday through Sunday, to ensure he doesn’t miss one. He sits in the stands, trying to be discreet and keep the attention on his son, while acknowledging that it isn’t really possible when his last name is involved. Yadier consistently records game film and highlights of Yanu (who, like his dad, is a catcher) and shares them to his Instagram page. The two talk strategies and execution after the game, much as Molina did with his pitchers.
