Time Traveling

 


Another trade with Matty K. 


-  First Royal to hit two home runs in one game.  Later, as a broadcaster, "If we lose this game, I'll walk back to Pittsburgh."  

-  Two All-Star seasons and a Gold Glove, but before joining the Indians.

-  There's an ABBA song about him.

-  Drafted by four teams in three different sports.  Record-setting contract.  Killed a seagull.  Mr. May.  

-  That's Hall of Famer Harold Baines to you.  LOL   

-  Four Gold Gloves, three Silver Sluggers, 6x All-Star, World Series MVP, 70 WAR.  Damn right he's a Hall of Famer.
