"A .453 batting average; .597 on-base percentage; .986 slugging percentage. Thirty-three homers and 93 runs batted in … in 212 at-bats. You look at the numbers, squint, and then look again. These are Baseball Stars numbers, a video game creation, with abilities cranked up to the max. There's no way a professional baseball player could have done this. Except someone did. His name is Jose Abreu. He just might be the best hitter in the world. And you've probably never heard of him. Abreu plays for Cienfuegos in Serie Nacional, Cuba's top baseball league."
