KD in CA Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 Chuck Knoblauch forgot how to throw the ball to first base. Mackey Sasser forgot how to throw the ball back to the pitcher. Ruined his career, and he was a good catcher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullpen Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 Tony Gwynn arguably the best hitter of a generation and never got a world series title and passed away far too soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadian Bills Fan Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 Great topic.   Griffey Jr for sure but would also add Carey Price    CBF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rico Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 Len Bias. !@#$ the Celtics and all, but he would've been tremendous in the NBA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Murica Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 Â I thought when he made his transition from pitching to the OF and had that full year with 25 home runs and batted around .260 he would go on to have a solid career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsPride12 Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 Len Bias. !@#$ the Celtics and all, but he would've been tremendous in the NBA. That one's a good call Bias-Michael Jordan might've been the Magic-Bird rivalry of the 90s. Would have been really interesting to see how basketball history would've been rewritten with Len Bias around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Brown Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 Why would you feel bad for Tim Duncan? He has 5 rings and will be a first ballot Hall of Famer Good point. I think I confused "feel bad for" for underrated. Todd Heap is the first person that comes to mind as far as "feeling bad for" goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another Fan Posted June 14, 2017 Author Share Posted June 14, 2017 Craig Ehlo. He didn't have a bad career at all but all people remember him for is getting abused by MJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve O Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 (edited) Mark Fidrych. Rookie of the year and led the both leagues in ERA in 1976. Got injured high-fiving some outfielder, was never the same. Died working on his truck when a coat or shirt go tangled up. Something like that anyways. Edited June 15, 2017 by Steve O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
