Xander Bogaerts is a Knight

Bow down, ye plebes, to Sir Xander Bogaerts. Yes, as @AnswerDave found out, Boston's rookie SS is a knight in Aruba: http://t.co/xuBWMLmFt3

Xander Bogaerts, the Red Sox 21-year-old shortstop, is a knight. That's right, it's Sir Xander Bogaerts to you. Apparently, after winning the 2011 Baseball World Cup for the Netherlands (Bogaerts' native Aruba is subject to Dutch rule), the whole team was knighted.

Maybe he should replace his batting helmet with a knight's helm? Just a thought.
