Astros Reliever Jared Hughes Signed Photos for the Entire Team and Left Lance McCullers Jr. an Excellent Message
By Adam Weinrib

Houston Astros reliever Jared Hughes joined the ball club at a turbulent time, but has brought a perfect attitude to the fray.
Hughes showed off his personality right away, taking an iconic photo on picture day after arriving to Spring Training. Let's take a look at that?

The man just gets it. But he went above and beyond, after simply taking the photo.
He printed 'em out and gave 'em away to his new teammates, with a personal message for each man in that clubhouse.
For instance, here's the one he gave to Lance McCullers Jr., who's finally recovered from Tommy John surgery.
Astros pitcher Jared Hughes, an affable, funny fellow, purposely poses with a menacing look on photo day so that this is what we see on the scoreboard when he bolts in from the ‘pen. Today, he signed cards for teammates to hang above their lockers. Here’s the one for LMJ ? pic.twitter.com/lukDuTrx6w

Yeah, Jared. That's the face we ALL made the first time we saw McCullers' curveball. More importantly, that's the face every 2017 Yankee made as they attempted to hack at his bender, time and time again, failing every time as Houston took Game 7 of the ALCS.
You'll fit in H-Town just fine, Mr. Hughes. Keep bringing that fire, and those laughs.
