Baseball has a funny way of suspending time. The 2016 Major League Baseball season, for instance, has elements that both feel like just yesterday and that have long faded from memory.
The Chicago Cubs won their World Series that year, for instance, and it’s still hard to go a day without running into a reference to that daily. On the other hand, Mark Trumbo led the game with 47 homers that season, and that’s a name that floats somewhere between Wally Joyner and Corey Koskie in the archives of my brain.
For Cincinnati Reds fans, 2016 bridges both ends of that spectrum.
