Assuming the earth hasn’t fully rejected human society in a century, our baseball-obsessed great-grandchildren are going to look back at the numbers of the 2020 campaign with one word: “Huh?”
Almost every player who saw significant time this past season will have their year-by-year numbers interrupted by very low totals in 2020. Our descendants might wonder why a seemingly-healthy DJ LeMahieu played just 50 games after appearing in at least 125 every year since 2014. Even when they research and rediscover what hellish garbage caused these problems, it will take a little time to figure out how place them a larger context.
