Deep Thoughts: There and Back Again, A Mitch’s Tale

My dear readers, we all know what happened in 2020 and I indeed shared what I saw. Some of you have asked me if I told you everything there is to know about Mitch Garver's season (or lack thereof). And while I can honestly say I've told you the truth, I may not have told you all of it. Now that my schedule has loosened up after the holidays, I think it's time for you to know the whole story.

It began long ago (in the before times) when Manfred juiced balls and the Twins were making a playoff run the likes of which you had never seen. It began... well it began as you might expect. In a box, there stood a catcher. Not a dirty cardboard box left in the attic; or a box belonging to Christie. This was a batter's box. And that means offensive production, not always premium production from a catcher, and yet when it shows up tapping you on the nose you can't help but notice.
