When it came time for it, Royals third baseman Cheslor Cuthbert's father posed the same question many fathers pose to unfocused sons: What do you want to do with your life: care for chickens, or play baseball? While it was a tough one, Cuthbert made the smart decision and chose baseball. Now that he's signed with Kansas City and gotten himself a nice signing bonus, he can afford to ensconce himself in chickens like Costanza in velvet.Here is some really shoddy Google Translating:When the now Royals third baseman began to earn their own money bought the roosters wanted. Now your day can not end without calling home to know how are the 73 roosters, 40 hens and 160 chicks you have. "Journal are photos, videos and calls for hours with the caregiver about them. They are your worship , "says his sister.Basically, Cuthbert's sister said he cannot end his day without calling home to check in on his 73 roosters, 40 hens, and 160 chicks. 273 chickens! I don't know much about chickens, but I do know that 273 is a whole hell of a lot of 'em. He even gets photos and videos sent to him by the person who is taking care of all 273 (I will never not !!! at that number) of his chickens.The anecdote features (semi prominently) in a La Prensa feature on his life and growing up in Nicaragua, but really, we need to know more about the chicken operation. There needs to be a full feature about Cheslor Cuthbert's two. hundred. and. seventy-three. chickens. ASAP.[La Prensa]
