Lew Ford: Twitter Reacts
This past weekend, outfielder Lew Ford was called up to the Orioles after not playing in the major leagues since 2007. Here is a sampling of the reaction on Twitter.
A story I wrote about Lew Ford a month ago, when he said he would be shocked to be back in majors: bit.ly/QpTOiL #BEscores

Congratulations to Lew Ford for making it back to majors. We’ve made fun of him a lot, but he was and is an overachiever.
