...that I’m finally getting to know him,” Escobedo said. “But I didn’t just want to paint him the way he looked. Our hands convey our personalities.” A song created by Michael C. Soto ’09 as part of his piece provides background for the whole exhibit. His exhibits features his song, a mosaic of 16 silk-screens, and a rhythm machine with corresponding buttons featuring samples of music by the subjects in his silkscreens, such as Sufjan Stevens and Bill Collins.

...Super Soto Zambrano's talent and game-changing ability are matched by those of his battery mate, rookie catcher Geovany Soto, who is probably the best player you've never heard of. "I don't think there's any question he's the National League Rookie of the Year, and along the way he's probably going to get some MVP votes," says Wade. Soto batted .285 with 23 home runs, none more clutch than the three-run shot he hit with two outs in the ninth inning to tie the Sept. 18 game against division rival Milwaukee (the Cubs...

"That's my personality," Soto says. "In talking to my wife, I'll get pissed, and five minutes later, I'm cool. Even if I'm right." Give Soto's homeland some credit for his success. The Puerto Rico native has played five years of winter ball in the Caribbean, experience...
...Journey found Pineda is a Cinderella tale of the Internet era. In the wake of Soto's dismissal last June for unspecified reasons, guitarist Neal Schon turned to the Web in search of talent. After two days of surfing on YouTube, he came upon clips of Pineda singing with his band, the Zoo, and nailing all the right notes in a vocal-straining repertoire that included rock anthems by Survivor and Queen as well as Journey's famed power ballads like Faithfully and Don't Stop Believing. "I heard his voice and my eyes got big," says Schon...
