When Lucas Giolito arrived in the Dominican Republic earlier this month for a beach cleanup project, he noticed a group of young baseball players going through agility drills with a trainer.
“They’re literally having to navigate through all this garbage trying to do this beach workout,” the Chicago White Sox starter told the Tribune in a phone interview on Dec. 19. “It should be this picturesque, beautiful beach, but there’s just so much garbage and plastic — like ankle-high and across the entire thing.”
It struck Giolito.
