Passed over in the Rule 5 draft twice
He’s the glue that holds this team together.
What a chad
I fucking love Jeff McNeil. two-time all star with a batting title who can play both the infield and the outfield. plus he literally adopted a puppy he met at a pregame thing.
No one in the majors screams obscenities louder when he makes an out.
He’s also averages 5.6 WAR per 162 games
How can you not be romantic about baseball?
