Also, there are many buildings nearby Shaq Thompson Color Rush Jersey , including some very tall ones with windows and everything.“Somebody came in and took a picture, which we really don’t appreciate because this is private property,” Rivera said Monday. “Again, he’s going through the process of his rehab program.

Maybe the ball he was using last week would be safer if Rivera would keep his eye on it.
