The Miami, Fla., Herald reports on the fascinating story of Jeremy Guthrie, who served a mission to Spain before launching a career in professional baseball, where it looks like he will be the starting pitcher for the Baltimore Orioles on Opening Day. "Of course (my religion) comes first," Guthrie said. "It's helped me in baseball and in everything I do, because it is the most important thing to me. It's a lot easier to endure the ups and the downs because you have a base and a foundation of what is important to you." To read the entire story from the Herald Web site please click here.
