LA Dodgers pitcher says he wants to 'make Heaven crowded'

Outspoken Christian Los Angeles Dodgers relief pitcher Blake Treinen, who is trying to help his team win a second consecutive World Series, says he is on a mission to "make Heaven crowded."

The 37-year-old proudly proclaimed his faith during a recent interview with CBN Sports published last week.

“I think my family's name is great in the eyes of God, but in the eyes of the world, nobody really knew the Treinens, and I don't really care if they do," he said. "I want them to see Christ's greatness and what He's accomplished in my career."

He pondered, "How do we make Heaven crowded?" stressing that he didn't "want to see any of [his] teammates or anybody in the stands or anybody in this world face the alternative."

"Making Heaven crowded," the pitcher said, is his "goal."

"Every single one of us have been given a gift and our way of repaying it to the Lord is how do we honor him with that gift?"
