At Least We’ve Got Adrian
Right now there is exactly one reason to watch the games, and his name is Adrian Gonzalez. I wonder if this is what it was like to root for the Padres back in ’72: Player Team Player/Team HR RBI HR R HR/HR RBI/R Statistics are courtesy of Baseball-Reference and are through games of [...]
