That’s right, Whiteyball is dead and never coming back to St. Louis. Nor in general to Major League Baseball. This is hard news for some of us to accept, but it’s time. The St. Louis Cardinals trade of speedster Magneuris Sierra for the “big bat” Marcell Ozuna woke me up to this hard fact after an exchange on twitter with another blogger.
Magneuris Sierra’s style of play reminded many of us of a Whiteyball style player with his Impressive speed and defensive potential. Although he had yet shown any power, his ability to get on base made him seem like a top-of-the-lineup Whiteyball-style hitter.
