The comeback "magic" just keeps coming for Jerome Williams.
His 8-inning, one-hit, 5-strikeout pitching performance against the Mariners last night represented his third win in as many starts for the Angels and has turned the story of his return to the Majors into something of LA legend.
Jerome Williams and his journey back to the Big Leagues is a real life script that even Disney couldn't write.
4-years removed from his last season in the majors and just 11-months after toeing the rubber for Taiwan's Uni-President Lions, Williams now finds himself as the face of the Angels chase for an American League West Division title.
After going a combined 13 and 2 between the independent Lancastor Barnstormer's and Triple-A Salt Lake Bees in 2011, Williams was thrown in by manager Mike Scoscia as the Halos number-5 starter in mid-August.
Following 3-starts in red-and-white, williams is now 3-0 with 19-strikeouts, 4-walks, and a 2.45 ERA.
And J Will's success is far from feel good fluff.
The once power pitcher has reinvented himself using a heavy-sinker, a vivacious cutter, and a mix of off-speed pitches.
Now Williams represents baseball's feel good story of the summer, but according to him, all he represents is the 50th state.
With an expected three starts still to come and the Angels just 2-and-a-half-games back of the Rangers in the race for the West Division title, Hollywood's next to good to be true movie is far from finished.
