Back in September of 2007, I blogged about two brothers raising awareness for SAD who met up with then not-so-well-known pitcher Zack Greinke. Little did I know at the time what was in store for Greinke and that his name would keep popping up.
In April of this year I wrote about Greinke being on the cover of Sports Illustrated. Well-deserving, I thought, and a real victory for those dealing with social anxiety disorder (SAD). Here was someone who had not only managed to overcome SAD, but who was also excelling in his career.
Now here we are in November of 2009, and the good news just keeps coming. Zack Greinke was named the 2009 Cy Young award winner. A look at his stats tell us why. Now the fans are asking what he will do next year. I would argue that he's done enough; but then I didn't know what to expect two years ago. Maybe the best is still yet to come.
