Yunel Escobar risked everything to play baseball in the U.S., escaping Cuba on a tiny boat and landing with the Braves in 2005. He brought a flair and joy to the field that’s common in today’s MLB, but back then, it clashed with Atlanta’s old-school culture. Despite impressive stats and a knack for getting on base, Escobar was often misunderstood and underappreciated. Imagine if he’d played in today’s game—his style would be celebrated, not criticized. How do you think baseball culture has changed for international players like Escobar? #Sports #Baseball #Braves
