Friends is a hit among Latin American Major League Baseball players who use it to help learn English

The New York Times

New York Mets infielder Wilmer Flores, a 26-year-old from Venezuela, is so obsessed with Friends he’s watched each episode seven times and use the show’s theme song as his walkup music. “When I get up in the morning, I turn on the TV, and whatever episode is there I’ll watch and keep watching,” he says. “I stop it when I come to the stadium. When I come home from the stadium, I pick up where I left off.”
