Greensboro is a city in the heart of North Carolina, surrounded by forests and lakes, 100 miles away from Charlotte. As for us, Greensboro is the house of the Grasshoppers, the Class-A affiliates of the Miami Marlins.
In this town and in this team there is a former Red Raider, Eric Gutierrez, one of the stars of the team that performed so well in last years under coach Tim Tadlock.
For those not familiar with him, Eric is a 23-years-old first baseman with an intense story of hard work in a poverty environment like the town of McAllen, near the Mexican border.
