When Anibal tore his labrum, Loria sent him to the minors and then put him on the minor league DL, refusing to pay him his MLB salary. Anibal won the grievance about two years ago, got his back pay and MLB time credited.
While sitting out after the surgery, getting his minor league pay, his infant son died from a mosquito bite. I am thrilled to see him overcome the labrum and everything life has thrown at him - an easy guy to root for - at least if a Marlins fan.
Was the bite infected? How does that HAPPEN?
