It really is.

It's like him and Dave Winfield, so few guys have ever done it.

But you're right.

I mean, he was one of the greatest college players of all time.

You know, you're talking about, you know, back in 78, but there still hasn't been anybody like him.

You know, he was a superstar.

I think that's why, you know, people disappointed in the major league career.

He wasn't, you know, Barry Bonds, but he was certainly the Barry Bonds of the collegiate ranks for sure.

Mm-hmm.

Yeah, I mean, yeah, as early as you're watching the Braves back then was just watching those two guys hit.

And you turn to, you know, turn off the show for a while and watch something else until they came up to the plate just because it was such a bad team.

Yeah, it's too bad because they, you know, they didn't get good, of course, until, you know, 91.

And, you know, by then those guys, you know, had done playing.

No, just a, I mean, obviously a terrible start, not playing good baseball.

But they've had injuries, you know, guys have underperformed.

You know, you can't believe that Vlad Guerrero is going to not have any power all season long.

You know, a ton of injuries.

So it's not like we're talking about the Mets here or the Tigers or Kansas City Royals.

It's like, okay, they've had a lousy start.

It's got to get better.
