Vicente Padilla hails from Chinandega, Nicaragua.The region around Chinandega produces mostly agricultural products, particularly oils, flour, peanuts, shrimp, sugarcane, with sugar mills in Chichigalpa and El Viejo - wikipedia
he was the closer for the bronze medal-winning Nicaraguan national team during the 1998 baseball world cup.
On July 22, 2009, Padilla tested positive for Swine Flu, and was believed to be the first major U.S. athlete to catch the disease - wikipedia
he made the all star team in 2002. this is Vicente's tenth season in the majors. career record of 98-85. career ERA 4.33.
all of this is irrelevant. except the part about swine flu.
