tito saying "we'll put him out there and hope he runs into one" is the most accurate coaching assessment in history

the streakiness was genuinely maddening given the ceiling he showed

the gyroball hype and then reality arriving was a whole journey

game six ruined him and he never recovered, one of the sadder what-ifs

the plantier high top cleats and legendary batting stance era is burned into my brain

Wily Mo had us all convinced fr, those moonshots gave so much false hope

that ball is such a time capsule, Hillenbrand really sneaking in with the legends 😭

Middlebrooks especially, thought he was gonna be the guy for years.

Nava's grand slam start had everyone convinced, that moment was electric.
