ST. LOUIS -- Among the jewelry Rodolfo Castro will occasionally wear onto the field for a game is a necklace with a Superman pendant at the end encrusted with diamonds. He's a fan, and has been ever since he first watched the cartoons.
"He's been my superhero ever since I've been a kid," Castro said via interpreter Stephen Morales, the two Pirates beaming like they were kids who had just cracked open a new issue of Action Comics. "When it comes to superheroes, he's the biggest one."
There have been times where Castro looked like Superman out on the baseball diamond.
