[Firebrand of the American League](http://firebrandal.com) has [an excellent article](http://firebrandal.com/2012/06/02/daniel-navas-second-chance/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+firebrandal+%28Fire+Brand+of+the+American+League%29) about Daniel Nava’s success in his most recent trip to the majors.
> After 2010, it seemed that Daniel Nava’s career had peaked with the very first pitch of his major league career. Well, despite every odd, he’s returned. And he’s fighting to become more than a footnote, more than a “Oh, isn’t that the kid who hit a grand slam on his first pitch?” in local conversations. Every swing he takes, every base he rounds, is fighting to erase that reputation, reworking a history that seemed all but written in stone. Lacing a 100 MPH pitch from MVP Justin Verlander for a three-run double is a good place to start, but to really change things, you’d imagine that Nava has to make an impact in another month, one that starts with an O. It’s been a few years since the Sox have gotten that chance. But then again, if anyone knows about waiting a few years for a chance, it’s Daniel Nava.
Count me among those who assumed the Nava was a one grand slam wonder. I’m extremely glad to have been proven wrong.
