It’s been a wild year for Jake Burger, from the CarShield Collegiate League, to the Schaumburg alternate site, to Triple-A, to hitting his first big-league homer, and then back to Charlotte.

I assumed he was in part referencing some reporting I did on Jake back in 2019. I had always assumed that Jake took it all in good fun, but steely’s comment had me concerned.
