He’s Isaiah Campbell, and he’s from Portugal! And by Portugal I’m not talking about Fall River, here, but the actual Portugal on the other side of the ocean. His father was stationed there while in the Air Force (sure beats South Dakota), and he was born in the Azorean city of Angra do Heroísmo. That literally translates to “Bay of Heroism,” so my expectations will be pretty high the next time he comes in to face the heart of the order with two on and nobody out in the eighth. The Red Sox just acquired him from the Seattle Mariners for Luis Urias.
