Some folks are seemingly born into the wrong era, which is something I often told my Dad as a kid as I obsessed over his records from the 60’s and 70’s.
I occasionally think about the same concept when it comes to athletes, often wondering how they might have fared in another era. For example, what would Pedro Martinez‘s numbers have looked like if he hadn’t pitched during the PED era of Major League Baseball? It’s a scary thing to think about.
As I was flipping through Twitter on Saturday, I was reminded about how the Blue Jays had a multi-talented prospect in the late 80’s, and I can’t help but wonder how much his career would have differed if he had been coming through the system today.
