Fernandez's MLB debut



His debut may have been pushed up due to injuries, but a kid with this kind of background is not going to be phased by anything like that. Ya' think?

from Palm Beach Post:

NEW YORK — 
Ask Marlins pitcher Jose Fernandez if he is nervous about making his major-league debut Sunday against the New York Mets, and the 20-year-old phenom recalls dodging bullets that were fired at the boat he and his family used to flee Cuba five years ago.
“After that I’m not scared about anything else,” he said Saturday at Citi Field, recalling his family’s defection after three unsuccessful attempts. “I’ve been in jail, I’ve been shot at, I’ve been in the water. I’m not scared to face David Wright. What can he do?”
The kid looks like he's got the goods and I'm sure he's making the folks at Alonzo High School in Tampa, FL proud as well.
