There was a news story about two guys from India who had entered a competition on a reality-based tv show over there. The entrants were judged on how well they could pitch a baseball. The top two winners had never played baseball before... NEVER! (The first place winner had a 90 mph fastball). Somehow they were able to get a tryout with The Pittsburgh Pirates and both of them, even without ANY knowledge of the game, were picked to continue on with the team (not that they'll make the majors, but they're gonna train with the minor league affiliation).
Evidently they're both very quick learners and have "a good work ethic" (as quoted by the manager). Wouldn't it be something if they make the major leagues?
