Ivan Nova Is As Hot As The Sun. Hello Super Nova

When a stellar explosion decides to become extremely luminous, it causes a burst of radiation that can outshine an entire galaxy. During this occurrence, energy is released as bright as the sun. This is called Supernova. And just when we thought that there wasn't anyone or anything that could compete...along comes Ivan Nova.

Nova is the 23 year old phenom from Scranton/Wilkes-Barre who secured his first major league career win today against the Chicago White Sox. Nova went 5 2/3 innings in what was an amazing outing for the rookie.

Nova is someone who goes on the mound and plays with passion and intensity, and intensity we all saw against the Blue Jays a few games back when he and Jose Bautista exchanged words. It's the "ice" in Nova's veins that will help him continue to be an unstoppable force as the season rolls on.

In the words of Nova's mother and brother "Don't feel pressure, it's just baseball" and Nova looks as if there is no pressure and...with 32 games left in the season Nova has to remind himself that it is just baseball but, when you play for the New York Yankees, it's baseball and a World Series championship.

Congratulations Ivan Nova.

XOXO,
Whitney
