Is Jyri Kulmala Any Good?
June 24, 2057
The Finnish Flash, Talons center fielder Jyri Kulmala, has been a feel good story for the Talons the least few years. He was featured in the 2054 BBA Media Guide, and that inspired the Talons to finally call him up to the big leagues later that same season. Having been in the organization since 2035, it was a long time coming for the prickly, outspoken veteran. But wouldn't you be a tad standoffish too, if you had been stuck in the minors for almost 20 years?
In any case, Kulmala made an immediate impression on the Talons, what with his gold glove caliber defense and a personality that was a bit of a needed shakeup to the club's famously easygoing clubhouse. The Team News story about his first game winning hit even won a Caleca. But there haven't been many Calecas lately for the Talons Electronic Media And Forum Posting Department of late. And TEMAFD Director David Frum thinks he knows why.
"Well we put out content, but most seem to think its a joke, to be honest," Frum said. "So we looked around the league at the other media departments and we did notice a trend. A lot of them have a cool headline banner at the top of their news stories. And some of the coolest ones, including ones by a certain best selling author, even put their stories into an "off topic" box to make them look more official, I guess. But it seems to work for them, so we figured why not try it?"
"Oh yeah, almost forgot. The title of this piece. Sorry, got off track there. Anyway, is Jyri Kulmala any good?"
"Yes."
