MLB Reliever Gives Villa Hermosa (Dominican Republic) Its First Fire Truck

New York Yankees righty reliever Miguel Castro has gone from throwing fire to helping extinguish it. Though he still plans to throw it, too.

Indeed. Castro recently purchased a new fire truck for his hometown—its first!—of Villa Hermosa (Dominican Republic), reports brobible.com.

Villa Hermosa—which has a population sitting around 100,000 and a total area of 61.25 square miles—did not have a fire truck prior to Castro’s generosity, the report says. Castro decided that that would no longer be the case and made the donation to the village’s “Cuerpo de Bomberos.”

The 27-year-old has also played for the Blue Jays, Rockies, Orioles, and Mets since his MLB debut in 2015. He owns a 4.10 ERA with 316 strikeouts to 195 walks in 360.1 innings.
