One of the Jays' best prospects, just signed a contract with a $2 million dollar bonus and lives in an old VW camper behind a 24-hour Wal-Mart.

If George Plimpton weren't dead, I'd bet he wrote this article for ESPN, LOL..

    It doesnt make any sense to me to live like that when its completely uneccesary but who am I to judge, he is living by his own set of rules and not bothering anyone so good for him doing what he wants.

    Reminds me of the late country singer String Bean. He and his wife kept all their cash (they didn't trust banks) hoarded in different places on their house/property...the only thing they did spurge on was a Cadillac. Sadly they were both murdered image
