Max Kellerman

right?

So that, that both the fight, like you can laugh because like, but the entire perception of Mike Tyson completely changed.

I even think of, cause you, you know, you geek out on stuff like this as I do Bobby Mercer way back in the day, who was supposed to be the next Mickey Mantle.

Eventually, which was a good trade for the Yankees.

And then Bonds was traded for Mickey Rivers and Ed Figueroa.

but,

Bobby Mercer, if you looked at the trajectory of his career in a depressed offensive era, hadn't really ruled himself out of that yet.

And then had this incredible season where, because people didn't understand advanced analytics well enough at the time, they didn't understand quite how good he was.

And he was like 25, 26, and he followed it up with a really nice season.

but it wasn't like the season before.

And at that moment, people realized, okay, this guy is what he is.

He's a sometime all-star.

He's not going to be one of the greatest players ever.

Those little, those single seasons or single games or single moments that completely reshape the way we think about a guy are so interesting to me.

And I agree with you about AD.

You could pinpoint that moment and go, it was cresting and no.

Or if they just whistle the play dead because he had five guys on him and the play was kind of over.

Here's the thing about it.

I'll make the Hall of Fame case for Eli.

I think the answer is yes for Eli.
