Ding Dong City needs a new mayor…

He made it and was a decent player for a year or two. That's most than 99% of people who enter baseball.

 

[Petagine in a Bottle]

Very solid career for a guy who looked like a long shot to make it. Made the most of his opportunities. 114 career homers, made $12.5M, retired at 32.

Remy had some of his best malaprops when Shaw was at the bat. Since he had his best year with the Milwaukee Brewers, I will remember him as Travis Shore of Lake Michigan.

 

[Van Everyman]

One of Diamond Dave’s worst trades.

Best of luck, Travis Shore of Lake Michigan. You had some good moments for the Olde Towne Team.

Another sad data point on Remy's death. The dwindling number of active players whose pronunciation evoke memories.

That trade really illustrates how wildly unpredictable baseball can be. And it's why I'm leery of people making definitive arguments using projections. I thought that was an excellent trade when it was made. Turned out so poorly for us.

Only been to a few Sox games, but he hit one in Seattle when I was there.
