As good as a single baseball player can be, they still can’t do it on there own. There’s a reason Mike Trout can deservedly win MVP on a fourth-placed team. Whitey Witt was a perfectly average major league baseball player, but he probably felt those 2016 Mike Trout feelings in one particular game in 1922.
The Yankees had gotten off to an extremely hot start in 1922, going into an April 29th game against the Red Sox with an 11-3 record. Babe Ruth was in his third season with the team, but missed time due to his suspension for barnstorming in the offseason.
