I LIKE MIKE FORD ON THE ROAD, BABY!

Love this tweet from our guy Pete Caldera of the Bergen Record. It has to do with Mike Ford, and it is just a glimpse at a guy that is coming through when we needed him. Clutch baby. And you know Caldera... it's always about the nuggets! Take it away Caldera...

Ford focus: Now 8-for-14 on the road trip, 4 HRs after his second HR of the evening at Seattle.

Now think about it. This is all about opportunity. He got it and he's performing!

Think about his last few years. This comes from Baseball-Reference.com:

-July 17, 2013: Signed by the New York Yankees as an amateur free agent. 

-December 14, 2017: Drafted by the Seattle Mariners from the New York Yankees in the 2017 rule 5 draft. 

-March 24, 2018: Returned (earlier draft pick) by the Seattle Mariners to the New York Yankees.

Now the dude's on a tear and hitting dingers on the road. Love it!
