I am still trying to deal with Raul Mondesi's son starting for the team we are playing tonight.

I seem to recall Frank Thomas and Jeff Bagwell had the exact same birthday. I remember that because of how similar they were, and both had their primes at the same time, etc.

It would have been cool if they got inducted the same year as well, then.

Agreed, I always thought the Bagwell PED rumors were bullshit

I'm at the stage where I look at Marcus Mariota and think, "we were in the same graduating class, what the hell am I doing with my life"

I feel the same way about a guy in my HS class who won the Nobel Prize for Physics...
