Who's in?
Guy's hitting over .350. He always hustles. He seems to have a great attitude.

not even sure if he smiles, except after he knocks over a white catcher.

Brenly talked about how hard he plays and runs, and how the scouts got the word out to the 2B to watch out.

I think this is called Ozzie Ball.

Guy makes $5 million hustles his ass off and hits.

On top of everything, no unaddressed hate mail stories.

If the rest of the team didn't blow so much, Byrd's words and his strong white teeth would matter.

I do like the guy, though. He's my kind of ballplayer.

He reminds me of The Toy Cannon,Jimmy Wynn who used to play for the Astros. Smaller but muscular,hits the ball a long way. I just can't beleive how bad the Cubs have looked this year! The Key is the DLEE & ARAM failure to hit.

Love him. He is playing really well. Just got a 2 out double that lead to the Cubs going up 3-2 against the Reds. He is always hustling.

He hustles, he's grindy and has a good attitude. I would have thought he was white if he wasn't black...

What's the backstory on the "Smiling Black Man" meme? Just that he isn't Bradley?

Byrd has been better than I expected. I really like the effort and he seems to enjoy playing the game, which is nice to see. Plus, he seems to be the kind of teammate guys would enjoy being around. I wish all the Cubs had his attitude, as well as his performance level....

I'm sold on him thus far, count me in. He's one of the only reasons to watch this crappy team lately :x
