1984, but more fun than that dystopian Orwell book
In my continued effort to make my life one big melange of business and pleasure, I banged out a 3,500-word MLB Mideason Review article for ESPN.com while in Budapest.
This is the 3rd annual edition of the Review, with each one picking a team that’s beaten expectations, then digging up the last big winner from that franchise’s history and assigning one player on that club to every team in the current season. So for instance, in Part 1 of the Review this year, I cover the National League, with Gary Matthews assigned to the Cubs, Rick Sutcliffe for the Brewers, etc.
Trust me, this will make more sense when you read it. Or at the very least, you’ll enjoy the copious references from The Simpsons and Caddyshack.
Part 2 runs on Monday, also at ESPN.com.
