Four points I’m thinking about the NBA…
1. Did you know that Brook Jacoby was a two time All-Star? Or that in 1986, the Tribe actually had a winning record with Julio Franco, Cory Snyder and Joe Carter leading the way? I was rather surprised too. In my four-year-old mind’s eye, Brook Jacoby was just a quintessentially solid third baseman, Cory Snyder hit bombs or struck out every time, and Joe Carter was simply a superhero. I didn’t truly remember Franco’s first stint in Cleveland, although now that I think about it, I do recall an old baseball card.
