I'll add Vlad to that list. To this day he's my single favorite player I've ever seen live. There are some guys I've seen that were objectively better for sure, but peak Vlad was just so much fun. It seemed like he'd do two or three things every week that I didn't think were possible.

Same. He'll always be my fave.

I'm actually having a hard time getting into baseball mode this season, so I really needed this thread.

Same for me.

The ohtani news has gotten me curious again though.

Fingers crossed on his pitching. Bat wise, if he truly is back, this will be the first year seeing him, trout, rendon and fletcher all together in a full year.

Thats pretty exciting.
