Close your eyes and drift back, for a moment, to a time long ago, when Edwin Díaz was preparing to start games for the Jackson Generals; when the dream of Cerberus was still alive; when Scott Servais was a rookie manager tasked with creating lineups with the likes of Adam Lind, Dae-ho Lee, Nelson Cruz and Seth Smith and yes, there was still just one DH.
It was just the second game of the 2016 season when the Seattle Mariners faced off against their former reliever, Tom Wilhelmsen, who had been traded that November in a deal that sent him, James Jones and a PTBNL (Patrick Kivlehan) to the Texas Rangers for Leonys Martín and Anthony Bass.
