Strict simplicity is Johan's way as he is simply the best!

Johan Santana, arguably the best hurler in Major League Baseball at the present time, was born in Tovar, a southwest town of Venezuela, on 13 March 1979. He began his professional career in Venezuela with "Los Navegantes del Magallanes" where the talented young man was spotted by a scout of the Minnesota Twins and in 2000 he was enlisted by this organisation where he remained until the New York Mets, jumping apace to beat the other bidders, decided in 2008 to offer the fine venezuelan lefty 129 million American dollars for his signature, spread over a seven-year period. Nevertheless, it was playing with the Twins in the 2004 and 2006 seasons, after winning 20 and 19 games respectively, that, with wisdom, mettle and sweat in such a green body, Johan Santana became twice winner of the Cy Young Award which is given, one each, to the best pitcher of a particular season in the American League and the National League.  Indeed, Johan Santana, with his unique brand of hurling and resilience on the mound, has shown the world of baseball that he is a performer for the big stage and therefore it must take notice of what his script is all about and the subject of his employment for he has never wasted the treasure of his time with his head in the clouds as he has always been a good judge, master and producer of his own fate.  Johan Santana's 98 and 80 miles per hour fast throw and changer respectively are simply the best in Major League Baseball, says I.
