After a few extended cups of coffee with the Detroit Tigers and Texas Rangers,
Andres Torres
still had a nervous energy far greater than what any shot of caffeine
could provide. He had all of the tools and raw talent to become a major
league star: world class speed, a strong arm and the ability to hit from
both sides of the plate. Yet Torres didn’t secure a starting role in
the majors until the age of 32 after toiling in the minor leagues for
the greater part of his baseball career.
Thursday evening, Torres, the New York Mets outfielder was the center of attention at the premier screening of
Gigante, a documentary chronicling his battle with ADHD on his long journey to the major leagues.
