Mesa-Messi connection runs deep for Victor

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Victor Mesa Jr., 24, is an ardent fan of Lionel Messi, as demonstrated when he leapt to his feet celebrating Messi's second goal in Argentina's 2-0 victory over Austria in a FIFA World Cup match. The goal made Messi the all-time leading scorer in World Cup history with 18 goals, surpassing Germany's Miroslav Klose by two. Mesa's devotion to Messi runs so deep that he has three tattoos of the player and even gave his infant son 'Messi' as a middle name.
