Four years ago, I found from personal experience how generous the online community can be to its own in their hour of need. I am now literally begging you to be even more generous than you were to me.

If the Yankees have a battery, it’s a twin job—Cabrera and Cano, two guys born and raised just miles apart in the Dominican Republic who have become the best of friends in their short big league stints. Cano was only 22 when he was called up from the minors early in the 2005 season, but Cabrera was even younger, 20, when he was summoned later in the year. Cano, always an effervescent extrovert, immediately took the shy Cabrera under his wing. They’re not related, but the two call each other “primo,” Spanish for cousin. “Ever since I came up,” Cabrera says, “he’s been there, helping me. He’s like my brother.”
If you’re looking for something to read at work, here’s an interesting article about Cano and Cabrera by Sean Deveney at SportingNews.
