It must be good to be George Kontos. The 27-year-old pitcher recently won a World Series with the San Francisco Giants. "It's definitely been enjoyable after winning [the World Series]," Kontos told Patch. "Everyone has been giving me a lot of congrats, but my goals haven't changed; I'm still training with the same mentality and I think I've proven myself enough to be a lock for the opening day roster."
