BASEBALL AMBASSADOR In the past 16 months, has traveled to help represent MLB overseas in four different countries: South Africa (Dec 2014), Taiwan (Oct 2015), Curaçao (Dec 2015) and Cuba (March 2016) was the Rays nominee for the 2015 Roberto Clemente Award last season he reached out to MLB s RBI Program to express his interest in mentoring, then carved out time to visit young athletes in six different cities across the continent: Arlington, Cleveland, Detroit, Philadelphia, Tampa and Toronto. One of the things that makes him special, and makes him a lot like James Shields was and David Price was, was because they wanted to be That Guy. They wanted to be the best performer. They wanted to be the leader. But they were also willing to pay the price. You know, a lot of guys might say they want to be That Guy, but they re not willing to pay the price. And I think that all started with Shields here. And David certainly carried it on. And now Chris is doing the same thing.
