I have a feeling that seeing as I've never heard of the guy, that site was put up bu a bunch of his famlly members and friends

he has played a few games with the dodgers, this past off season he was traded to the mariners, and has been in AAA tacoma, during the spring he won a lot of fans here with his hustle and desire, now that he has gotten the call he has been playing center field with randy winn moving over to left, he may not have the most talent in the league but but his hustle, heart, and desire have already made him a fan favorite

here are hirams major league stats

So he's a nobody who works his a$$ off and everybody in Seattle loves him for it?

so he has been a nobody and hustles, gets dirty, plays every game like it is his last, and yes the fans do love him for it, it is the way the game should be played, no whining, no pouting, no lack of hustle, he may not have the god given talent of some of the big names but he uses every ounce of the talent he has
