As the “Gary Sanchez for Rookie of the Year” campaign gains traction, I find myself thinking back to Casey Martin.
Remember him?
Martin was a pro golfer who sued the PGA Tour in 1998 for the right to use a golf cart because he suffered from a rare circulatory disorder in his right leg that prevented him from walking 18 holes.
Bear with me here.
While Martin eventually won his case and had a short-lived career on Tour, a lot of people believed the courts got it wrong and argued that using a cart put him at an unfair advantage.
