Paul Gervase is making his MLB debut right now

goosebumps

1-2-3 inning, 7 pitches

What a week for him. Playing his triple A game in Omaha, being able to watch the Tigers and then get called up to the Majors. Congrats to him!!

Great pitcher, and even a better dude!

Last year, I brought my boys to a Pensacola Blue Wahoos game (AA Afiliate of the Marlins), to watch Tre Morgan and Gervase who both were playing for the Montgomery Biscuits.

Both of my boys were waiting for Tre Morgan to come out of the locker room, to get his autograph. Which he did, and was extremely nice to my boys; talked briefly with them; took photos with them, etc.

Gervase walks out and sees us wearing our LSU shirts. He says: "Awesome! Tiger fans!! Thanks for coming out to see us!" He walks over immediately to sign balls, etc. He was very humble and says something along the lines of: "I know I wasn't quite the pitcher at LSU that some of these others were..." To which I replied: "Man, you were a stud out of the pen for us! We desperately needed pitching that season, and you were great! As fans, we could always count on your reliability. You were a Tiger, and always will be a Tiger!"

He took a half step back, made a huge smile, and said: "Really?! Ya'll thought that much of me?! Thanks!!"

He went on to talk with my boys a little, and just carried a super friendly yet down-to-earth demeanor. I'm extremely happy for him, and to see that he is getting his chance in The Show!

Go Gervase, and

Way to represent brother

I’m sure he appreciated that.

I’m at the game. Awesome. Two scoreless innings. I congratulated his parents. Very nice people.

Another cool story.

Paul Gervase was one of the great stories from that season. Came out of nowhere to be a key contributor - helped to carry that pitching staff to a regional (and regional final?).

I remember when he announced that he was coming back after the first 10 rounds…and then someone met his number, and he understandably had to delete the post. Great to see him make it to the show.
