For a decade, or 3,654 days to be more specific, Castillo bounced around from organization to organization, but finally got his shot in the MLB once again.
The Dominican baseball player entered the game with a .314 BA over the course of his MLB career, to go along with a pair of RBI and a single extra-base hit.
