Ozzie Guillen, Man of the Cloth

I had actually forgotten that Ozzie Guillen is a babalawo; I think Irete Yekun told me this. This is a great article from the LA Times two years ago. They go to great lengths to give several examples of players and coaches saying "it's not like the religion is going to make you a better player." No, it's not like that, LA Times. But if you are a good baseball player, you don't want your bus to have a flat tire, you don't want another important player to get sick, and you don't want the weather to favor the other team. Ifa works in broad but hidden strokes. Oh, and Orunmila's never wrong.
