It’s only been baby steps as expected for @usainbolt today. He’s been joking around with his new teammates in front of the biggest media contingent ever for the @CCMariners , let alone for a training session. The jury is out until will see him in game scenario. Fingers crossed pic.twitter.com/IlJdXNYeHt
