Matt Szczur is uniquely special

[JohnS]

I've heard of inventive methods for curing batting slumps in Baseball, but Anthony Rizzo using Matt Szczur's bat and Addison Russell wearing Matt's underwear must sure rank right up there.

And furthermore, Matt Szczur donated his blood marrow to help a toddler in Ukraine in 2010. Seriously, what a guy!  All this and he didn't make the postseason roster for the Cubs this year!

Was hoping he'd make the NLCS roster as an extra right-handed bat off the bench, given all the left handers in LA's rotation.  Szczur came up with some huge pinch hits for the Cubs this season.  Thought the interview with him during the game last night was pretty good.  Love to see him in the dugout supporting his teammates, even though it had to be hugely disappointing to miss out.
