Earlier this week I saw that former Seattle Mariners pitcher Felix Hernandez had signed a minor league contract with the Atlanta Braves, with the hope that he can join their rotation as the fifth starter.
I am not a baseball fan, but I lived in Seattle long enough to loosely follow the Mariners and I have enough baseline knowledge of the game to know that King Felix is a freaking legend. His sole Cy Young Award was won with just a 13-12 record — while he was at (or near) the top of every meaningful statistical category, the 2010 Mariners responded in kind by giving him literally the league’s worst run support.
