I'm just going to go ahead and change my fantasy team name to the infirmary. Francisco Alvarez, Gayson Rodriguez, Alexis Díaz, Luis Gil, Ronald Acuña Jr., Jared Jones...
Until next year when we will probably have a new record. This is the unfortunate reality of college hoops now. Cinderella is dying by the sword of NIL.
Swaggy swing. Most definitely Carlos Peña. Can we all appreciate how much better the throwbacks were as an alternate uniform over the Wrigleyville atrocities?

One of the all-time great batting stances in the history of the game. I hate that he is so often remembered first for the Game 6 incident. He was one of the best hitters of his generation. What he did from his time with the Cubs to his retirement is remarkable. OPS of .900+ in four straight seasons from age 37 to 40.
