OT: SI article about first Iraninan born D-1 player

Good luck to him. Hopefully, his girlfriend can reapply for a visa.
 
Awesome story, and not just because it involves the mention of a cryogenically frozen head, though that always helps. Thanks for posting.

Also, I feel dumb, but I don't think I realized that Ben Braun is at Rice now. Interesting.
 
Great read. Thanks.

"Mr. Estandiary meet Mr. Ted Williams."
"Holy Moly, you're Ted Williams, a very good hitter you were."
"You're one of those towel-head guys, ain't you."
"Oh, Mr. Williams, listen to you. We're in this together."
"If I had arms or legs, you'd be in trouble."
"Oh, don't worry, Mr. Williams. It's almost 2010 and all diseases will cease to exist. We will soon get new bodies."
"You sound like Walt. Big dreamer, that Disney. Don't mention to him EuroDisney went to the dogs."
"Oh, yes, 2010. No one will die. We will all live in peace. Iran will be America's best friend. There may even be Iranian baseball player in major league"
"You know I don't have any arms or legs."
 
As an Iranian-American, this guy and Hamed Haddadi are very exciting for me.
 
This is good and helps to counteract the negative stereotypes towards Iranians. Hope the young man does well.
