Mea culpa, Leonys Martin, perfectly good leadoff hitter

Leonys Martin blocked me on Twitter.

I’m not overwhelmingly positive on Twitter, but I’m not the kind of person who trashes people on social media either. Beyond that, I’m 100% cheering for Martin as a member of the Cleveland baseball organization and as a human being. So, I was a little confused when I went to look at his Twitter account and found that I was blocked. Martin is an adult who has survived the life-threatening journey out of Cuba and a life-threatening illness; I’ve got my own story, but no one is writing about it, so who cares if Martin wanted to block me on Twitter?
