Rinku Bhramdeen Singh, on the left (LHP,19) and Dinesh Kumar Patel, on the right (RHP,19)won 1st(Rinku) and 2nd(Dinesh)place for a contest in India called the 'Million Dollar Arm' contest... considering the population of India... and these two won the contest, they must have something to offer.
both Rinku and Dinesh signed with the Pittsburgh Pirates becoming the first people from India to sign a Major League contract, it opens up a door for other players from India who may take an interest in baseball as Rinku and Dinesh develop into proffesional MLB pitchers.
If you're curious, Rinku and Dinesh have their own blog (link at the bottom of the page) they post on (thanks to 3:10 to Joba for turning me onto this) and it is really very entertaining...
We went with JB sir to breakfast at a great American breakfast eatery called Dennys. Rinku ordered a breakfast aclled the Lumberjack. We now know that a Lumberjack is a person who works as a tree cutter in the forrest so they must eat a lot of food. this breakfast was quite huge. It had eggs, bacon, sausage, ham, potatos, breads, and pancakes. I had French Toast and both meals were very fulfilling.
Oh do they have alot to learn about the American Culture...
They go on to talk about the rest of their day in the U.S.A seeing the movie 'Rock N' Rolla' saying it SUCKED...
It will be really interesting to see where these two end up in a few years.
