Another modern-day ritual around this time of year, is the preparation of one's fantasy baseball draft list. From what i am seeing within the 2026 projection systems, The Howitzer's .233 season with one homer could very possibly land him in the majors in a platoon...probably a couple of million per year to boot. The stats of yesteryear are gaudy compared with today's players and today's game.

Well written...an enjoyable read.
And if given some time Howie would have found his swing.
He sure spoke up for himself a lot for a guy with so little MLB cred....
He was a fixture and local legend in Baltimore and had a car salesman’s gift for gab.
