'The Legend of Bo', got me thinking about the players I will always remember. The men who's stories I hope to share with my children and theirs when I'm old, senile and can't remember much other than Pedro's line from 1999 (23 -4 2.07 ERA 313 Ks) the geometric perfection in the arc of Griffey's swing or the speed and grace of a man called Kirby who measured 5'8" and 240+ lbs...
so over the coming weeks and months I hope to fill this space with the memories I have of the 'legends' of the game... maybe not a list of all-time greats (although there will be those) and maybe not even everyone an all-star... but a list of the players, the games, the moments that deserve re-telling, to be shared for years to come so they can always be remembered
how true
