Mussina; Most under-told baseball story of the year.
Happy 2009 Moose fans!
RealClearSports has named Mike Mussina one of its most under-told stories of the year. The writer acknowledges Moose’s fantastic 2008 season and says he’s a sure-fire hall of famer. But the focus of the article is how amazing Moose’s career has been and how remarkable his retirement was (coming after arguably his best season):
Mussina, on the other hand, never had to fight drug addiction. Nor has he ever struggled to remember anything — let alone an entire year. He’s not amazing because he’s had to fight back from enormous adversity of his own making. He’s amazing for the opposite reason. He’s amazing because his potential isn’t limited by a baseball field. (ie How many athletes other than Mussina would feel comfortable being featured alongside a president in a documentary about crossword puzzles?)
We could not agree more. Read the whole thing.
