Mavericks Fans Love Hard Working Whalen Monday, August 26th , 2019 Houston Starting Pitcher, Luke Whalen, is one of the hardest workers in the game. Not only does he have a stellar work ethic, he is also a fan favorite. "One day I got to the ballpark early," said superfan, Joe Stanton. "I mean I got there really early. In fact, they were still getting the field ready and the first one out of the locker room and on the field was none other than Whalen. You can tell he just has a love for the game that goes above and beyond most players on the field. When I left that night following the game, the last player on the field was Luke Whalen. He makes you proud to be a fan of the Houston Mavericks." Teammates seem to agree. "When Luke gets on that field, it makes all of us want to play harder for the fans," said Mavericks teammate, Mike Rivers. "Not only is he a great guy but he is one heck of a player. He is always out there signing autographs for the kids and when he is in the gym, he is always the one hitting the weights the hardest. He is a special person on and off the field." |
