I don’t know, but he clearly does. The TB12 center, the books, the public exhortation of his diet, etc. Maybe this is him doing a solid for Guerrero, I don’t really know. I agree with you that it’s superflouous to his success, but I’m not a pro athlete and wouldn’t guess how these guy are wired.

Goddamn you, you beat me to it.

I remember that book well. One another thing that stood out: the survivors are huddled around a radio for a report from what’s left of the national government, and the are told that the whole state of Florida (where they live) has been declared a disaster zone. One of the survivors gets indignant: “Not the whole…

Eric Lee, although he was signed off the Bills’ practice squad.
