Overview
- In spring interviews, the Astros shortstop described cramping in Lake Minnetonka while carrying his 3-year-old, who wore a life jacket, as he struggled without one.
- He said he prayed, “Lord, save me,” before grabbing a buoy and alternating hands to stay up after injuring his left hand on the chain.
- His father-in-law swam from the boat and threw a life jacket that he caught with a pinkie, allowing them to float to safety.
- Correa says the episode led him to organize a Saturday Bible study at his Houston home that grew from about eight people to roughly 60, which he calls the Correa House Church.
- He has shared the testimony publicly, including a nearly 30-minute December sermon at a Houston retirement home, and MLB.com reports the Twins traded him back to the Astros two weeks after the lake incident.
