Let’s just get this over with: Daniel Norris lives in a van during the off-season. Also, sometimes he shaves his sizable beard with an ax. There, done. If you follow Major League Baseball at all, chances are you already know that.

What adventure most changed your life? Scuba diving with a faulty tank. This was a couple summers ago in Italy. I’d been diving about 20 times before, so I went down probably 200 feet.
