Paulo Orlando, Rookie and World Series Champion

Paulo Orlando, a rookie, became the first Brazilian born player to win the MLB World Series last week with the Kansas City Royals. He was added to the Royals opening day roster for 2015 as he showed great potential in the minor leagues and his few Major League appearances in 2014. It is rare that a 30-year old is a rookie in any professional sport, but it shows that he has persistence. His skills to not show that he will ever be an all-star or a big name player, yet he has accomplished something that many Hall of Famers have not done by being a part of a World Series Championship team. Paulo is also a regular representative of the Brazilian national team in the World Baseball Classic.
