Shocked. Surprised. Stunned.
These were the words used by some within the Cardinals organization to describe catcher Yadier Molina’s two-game absence from his baseball team to attend the championship festivities of the basketball team he owns back home in Puerto Rico.
If there was any doubt about the nature of his trip, photographs and videos of Molina participating in the celebration cleared things up. As did Molina, who explained to reporters in Chicago why he felt it was important he go. Congratulations, by the way, to the Vaqueros de Bayamon.
