It’s been a great week for Marcus Stroman, and rightfully so after an excellent campaign in 2017 for the Toronto Blue Jays. One of the lone bright spots for the roster was named as the American League Gold Glove Award winner for pitchers, and was also announced as the cover player on 2018’s version of ‘MLB the Show’.
I’m not all that much for superstitions, but after reading about the “Madden Cover Curse” in the NFL for so many years I couldn’t help but look at the history of the MLB video game, and how Blue Jays have fared in the seasons they’ve been named as the cover athlete.
