I think the fact that Raleigh ran him off, despite being the best player on the team, over the objection of administrators is what is appaling, personally.
Gomes is a guy that works out here in the offseason, makes his home here, and has been a supporter of our program, despite being run off by Raleigh. I honestly can't see the issue with them highlighting the accomplishments of someone who openly and proudly identifies himself as a Vol.
I enjoyed the story, had no idea he was the first Brazilian in the majors. Congrats to him.
