Quote:Do you suppose that there has been anyone in MLB history who made the All-Star team in his first season of (semi-)regular playing time at age 29 and then never played another MLB game following that year? I mean, besides this guy.That is weird. I haven't thought about him in a long time, but just looked up what happened there. Hot start to the season, some injured first baseman, so it was just him and Votto going as first basemen. Then Rizzo started getting starts at first in the second half of the season.
Here's actually a cool article about him. For so little time in the bigs, it sounds like a lot of his dreams came true.
