Kent Emanuel Offers Heartfelt Goodbye to Houston on Twitter

Posted Nov 24, 2021
No Major League Baseball pitcher might have a debut and story like Kent Emanuel with the Houston Astros. The rookie left-hander made his debut in April this season at 28-years-old, pitching 8.2 innings in relief to seal a victory. Emanuel was suspended during the 2020 season after testing positive for a banned substance. This didn’t stop Emanuel, though. (Climbing Tal's Hill)
