Let me tell you about the time I fell in love. The year was 2015, and I was watching the All-Star Game, and Aroldis Chapman made three All-Stars look like they wandered over from the celebrity softball game. Chapman isn't an unknown player. He's just available for the first time. So instead of "Wow, that guy's a freak" my thoughts morphed into "the Giants must have him." The exact thought was somewhere between a coherent trade idea and "imagen ardolis on the san fransico giants."
This, from earlier, added to the fire:
