“Up until he debuted in Japan a few weeks ago, the most notable thing about Yoenis was his 20-minute introductory highlight video, an orgiastic presentation of grainy highlights, workout routines, backing tracks ranging from Christopher Cross to Juelz Santana, and a random photo of new friend and former All-Pro running back Ahman Green. It was ridiculous in a way that pretty much all YouTube highlight mixes are, except in this case the player himself was responsible for it. It was also effective, in that it marked Céspedes as a distinct personality, or at least the rare Cuban defector who doesn’t want to be known primarily as a Cuban defector.” The Classical’s Eric Freeman
