Hollywood Hero Sylvester Stallone Validates 2x World Series Champion’s Favorite Pastime With a Fine Gesture

From slamming home runs to delving into a new passion is what most Major League Baseball players do when they retire. The Former San Francisco Giants slugger who won the World Series twice, did the same thing when he retired in 2012. To express his creativity, he took up painting as a hobby. Although it is unconventional for players to take up recreational activities, the former Giant not only made it his hobby but excelled enough at it to want to make it his second profession.

Recently, Hollywood legend Sylvester Stallone validated the two times world series champion with a nice gesture. After years of hard work with the brush in hand, the baseball champ, Aubrey Huff, is getting the recognition he deserves.

How did Sylvester Stallone validate the former MLB player?

While most players choose to work alongside the lines of baseball after getting retired, Huff chose something entirely different. What he started as a hobby is about to turn into a full-fledging business. When the former athlete took up painting as his hobby, little did he know that one day, Golden Globe award winner Sylvester Stallone would appreciate his work.
