But ultimately, Kimball has a broad vision: "The Saviour said, go into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature, and that's what we have been working toward."

This season he is hitting .260, has had just one home run since May 19 for a season total of eight. He has not stolen a base since mid-June. Centerfielder Cesar Geronimo, four-time Gold Glove winner, has been hurt too, further weakening the team up the middle...
