    Cool items, Geoff, but did they show Reggie hitting righty?  Or maybe I got a mirror image.

     

     

    Ha!  I actually had to go look and see.  He is hitting lefty.  But the cartoon caricature of the "Reggie" swinging the bat appears to be a white guy.  ugh

    The only thing I’d disagree a bit on as it pertains to the Trout/winning team narrative is the Griffey comp, and I know Geoff said more than that. It’s a bit different with Junior. For a good amount of Griffey’s time with the Mariners, they were very competitive. So there wouldn’t have been that push. He completely changed the entire narrative of that franchise. Whatever they call that stadium now, it is the House That Griffey Built. When he went to Cincinnati, it was because he asked for it out of family concerns. He wanted to play closer to his family home in Orlando, and play in his hometown where his dad was a bench coach.

     

    That's really not the case though.  In his first stint with the team ('89 to '99), look at their record.  They were only over .500 half the time and, with the exception of '97, they were barely over .500.  The 2 times they made the post season ('95 and '97), Randy Johnson had monster years.  (And let's not even talk about how they ended up making the playoffs in '95).
