Two guys from India who have never played organized baseball before in their lives have been signed by the Pirates. They’re cricket players who apparently can throw a 90 MPH fastball. Rinku and Dinesh are their names. They’ll be at spring training and spend some time in the minors.
Here’s an excerpt from their blog entry just after they signed contracts with the Pittsburgh Pirates.
We right away went to the internet to locate Pittsburgh on map. It is in north east part of USA and looks like very good city. First we go Florida which is the south east part of USA. We train there with all other Pittsburgh Pirates teammates and live there too.
Also, they are completely awesome.

They ARE awesome. That Christmas post is disarmingly charming. Though I’m a little put off by two men sharing a blog and always talking in the group sense. And getting signed together? Are they a pop group as well?
