A monster shot, Yerminated, to the concourse in left field at Sox Park, with a most unlikely hitter standing in the box, watching the ball enter orbit.
Yermín Mercedes has had quite the journey to the bigs: minors, winter leagues, and even independent ball. His Hollywood story of going through several organizations for nearly a decade before reaching the majors is playing out right in front of us.
Mercedes, or the Yerminator as White Sox fans and media have dubbed him, is one of those true underdogs so many of us — especially fans of the South Siders — can truly relate to: Nearly quitting once or twice before being told to stay the course and finally catching your break.
