And now, here's the marching man to nowhere, fat face, and the habitual liar.
I think it's Pete Alonso, the Baltimore Orioles, because if you look at their first base position, they were dead last in home runs and RBIs a season ago.
And this was an Orioles team that we thought, Jeremy, for years to come, had this great young nucleus.
They were going to contend.
Then last year, they were dead last, the ALAs, to go, wow, now you signed Pete, who no matter what, you pencil him in.
He's 40 home runs and 100 RBIs, and he plays 162.
Last two years, he played 162 games both times.
Matter of fact, John Heymanton with this nugget, which I didn't know,
He and his wife scheduled the C-section at midnight just so he could play in a game that night because this guy does not want to miss any baseball games.
I didn't know that.
I said, that's crazy.
So I think for Baltimore, it's a massive move.
It proves that, hey, we needed power and we got it.
Between Ward and Alonzo, that's 70-plus home runs.
They still need pitching, but apparently they're in on Frambois Valdez.
So David Rubenstein took over as the owner in 2004.
This is his first big splash.
It's his first big signing since the Chris Davis trade as far as Orioles are concerned.
The
$161 million that Davis signed, which didn't work out well.
