The LGBTQ community has been under attack more than ever this year, according to data from the American Civil Liberties Union. There have been more than 400 bills introduced in state legislatures to limit their personal rights. In particlar, bills in the realms of health care and education — such as <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/disney-uses-desantis-words-against-him-amended-lawsuit" rel="noopener">Ron DeSantis</a>‘ deplorable Florida “Don’t Say Gay” bill and other attempts at curriculum censorship — in addition to movements to ban access to gender-affirming medical treatment for transgender youth, are being pushed through state legislatures nationwide.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Before that time, he and his band were still getting their name out there, and Bill Graham helped them get on the iconic stage even before they released their first album. They rocketed to fame after that, but it almost didn’t happen. During an interview with People, Santana <a href="https://people.com/carlos-santana-recalls-being-higher-than-astronauts-butt-woodstock-thanks-jerry-garcia-exclusive-7514799" rel="noopener">admitted he got high</a> with a little help from Grateful Dead frontman Jerry Garcia.</p><p>Before Santana and his band took to the stage on the second day of the Woodstock festival, Garcia offered him some hallucinogens. It could’ve been peyote, mescaline, ayahuasca, or mushrooms. After he took it, he started seeing colors swirling all around him, “It was like being inside a kaleidoscope.”</p><p>“It was a real test, and the test was, ‘You are higher than an astronaut’s butt right now with whatever Jerry Garcia shared with me,'” Santana said. “When I came out onstage, I was like, ‘Oh my God, am I going to be able to play? I can’t even touch my nose.'”</p><p>But someone told him to trust in the Lord which got him through the set: “And then somebody told me, ‘Trust in God. Just ask him to keep you in time and in tune.’ So I said, ‘God, I really believe in you. If you help me right now, I won’t poo my pants in front of everybody.’ Next thing I knew, we hit the notes and the people went, ‘Wooo!'”</p><p>Eight songs later, the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/sports/mlb/players/carlos-santana/9f9e0916/stats" rel="noopener">band</a> of Carlos Santana skyrocketed to fame.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

While Santana is far removed from his prime and is not considered one of the elite players available in free agency, he still can hit with power and drive in runs.</p><p>The 36-year-old Santana slashed .202/.316/.376 while playing from the Kansas City Royals and Seattle Mariners last season. He belted 15 home runs and drove in 39 runs in 2022.</p><p>While Santana’s numbers were below his usual standards, he continued to hit the ball hard and was also successful at drawing bases on balls. He is also known as a strong leader, and that’s something that the Pirates need badly after they finished in a tie for <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mavs-news-mark-cuban-drops-harsh-truth-bomb-on-potentially-buying-pittsburgh-pirates" rel="noopener">4th place</a> in the National League Central with a 62-100 record.</p><p>Another factor that could help Santana and the Pirates is the end of the shift as a defensive strategy. Infielders shifted on 356 Santana’s left-handed plate appearances last year. Since he won’t have to battle the shift in 2023, he is likely to be far more productive.</p><p>Santana has been a solid defensive first baseman throughout his career in addition to being a strong power hitter. Santana has a career slash line of .242/.359/.432 with 278 home runs and 925 RBIs.</p><p>Carlos Santana made the American League All-Star team in 2019 while playing for Cleveland. He hammered 34 home runs and drove in 93 runs that season</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
