Matt Murton

[Blueheart05]

There's a feature story about Matt on MLBPlayers.com(and Cubs.com).

 

The article is written in the first person and gives some insight into his perspective as a new Major Leaguer. This paragraph is my favorite:

 

My role is to come out every day with a professional attitude and work hard. Hopefully, I can bring some life and competitiveness to the team, and that will help us win more ballgames overall. Obviously, we have a lot of good players in here so I don't have to carry a heavy load by myself. If I can do enough to help put us over the top, that would be great.

I'm confused, you say it's written in first person, but that's because it's actually written by Matt Murton, right? Your wording just threw me off . . .
