Is is Dr, Thomas Gorden, the famous trainer that written several books?
No, he's not a doctor, he was a major league pitcher during the 90s.  
I see. He played for the Yankees?  You must be from NYC.
Yes, he played for the Yankees, but he's from FL, originally.
Yes.  He also played for the Royals which is my favorite MLB team.  So are you from FL?
Yes, the Royals was his first team and yes, I'm from FL.  His son, Dee Gordon also play MLB.
That's cool. I see that he came from poverty and did good.  That's really cool. 
Yes, our hometown is pretty impoverished. I had two older cousins who went to high school with him and played baseball with him. He comes from a very nice family. 
Are you talking about Avon Park, FL?  
LOL.  Yes, it's a pretty poor area, generally speaking.
