GRAND CHUTE, Wis. – There have been many firsts in the professional baseball career of Quintin Torres-Costa.
His first strikeout. His first minor league victory. His first time getting promoted. And don’t forget, his first time having to play in the snow.
The Hilo native experienced snowfall for the very first time in his life, actually, when he was assigned to Single-A ball in Grand Chute, Wis., home of the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers, an affiliate for the Milwaukee Brewers. It was a culture shock for the 21-year-old.
