Last Friday on Cubs Twitter, the “Laurel or Yanny?” question became “Terrance Gore or Tommy La Stella?” Michael Cerami wrote an article at Bleacher Nation on this topic, with Brett Taylor chiming in as well. With a minor quibble, I agreed with everything in the article. So, why am I, of all people, playing “Me too?” I would have rolled the article entirely differently.
If you’ve just dipped into the Cubs universe today, and you didn’t read the article (you should), you might not know that Tommy La Stella is a near-elite pinch hitter.
