From about the time I could start understanding baseball to about middle school, I think I just kind of accepted that every Cardinals player was good. Or at least that the concept of them being possibly bad did not enter my mind. I legitimately do not remember ever thinking “oh no this hitter is up” although maybe that’s just my memory not clocking that as important. So I’m used to looking at players from around that era and seeing that they were a lot more underwhelming than my memory tells me.
Which brings me to Craig Paquette. Paquette, as befitting any true bench player, did not form enough of an impression on younger me that I remember anything more than he just played for the Cardinals.
