“Daniel Vincent Frisella (March 4, 1946 in San Francisco, California – January 1, 1977 in Phoenix, Arizona), was a professional baseball player who played pitcher in the Major Leagues from 1967-1976. He would play for the New York Mets, Atlanta Braves, St. Louis Cardinals, San Diego Padres, and Milwaukee Brewers. His career was cut short when he was killed in a dune buggy accident.”

Aaah, now I get it.

Imagine a whole life – childhood, school, little league, family, friends, days at the park, nights at the movies, sex, love, anger, pride, disappointment, triumph, struggle, walks, hits, strikeouts, saves, contracts, ballparks, cheers, boos, girlfriends, buddies, managers, coaches, beer, hotels, motels, cars, trucks, happiness, joy, hope – compressed into those three sentences.

Nice work, Josh. Can’t wait to see where this goes.

Now I keep trying to guess who will be next. I see Bo above, but I also think of an Angels outfielder and a Cubs pitcher.

But in a series like this, guessing is probably not encouraged.
