He was exciting to watch when he wasn’t nursing his many injuries.

The cool thing about the manager cards of olden times was the team checklist on the back. If they are going to continue making mgr cards, they need to return to those checklists for the team.

Darryl Strawberry was his choice.

I was playing in a fantasy league in the mid to late ’80s and Eric Davis was the highest paid player in our league for 3-4 years running.

I too am sad to think about what sort of careers they could have had.

True he had a couple of good years later, but those stats are horrible.
