Rex Chapman is a comeback story and a Twitter feed for our time

"A social media influencer. I'm not even sure what that means," Rex Chapman says from his home in Lexington, Kentucky. "Me, an influencer? Man, I hope not." As unlikely as that idea once might have seemed, Chapman has more than 580,000 Twitter followers. That's 10 times more than he had a year ago, a swelling of devotees that began with a tweet in Jan. 2019. (ESPN.com)
