Yes, that means I’ve been following the right-hander’s annual tradition since before he signed with the Oakland Athletics.
I first learned of this now-phenomenon in 2014 because of a hashtag on Twitter while I was, with the rest of the world, live-tweeting about the Oscars.
At the time I didn’t know much about the right-hander but it was a pretty huge deal as he went a perfect 18-for-18 in his 2014 picks, which you have to admit is extremely impressive.
The following year when he published his predictions in The Player’s Tribune for the first time I was even more intrigued.
