I really didn't like the Teammate/Team Player distinction. The LinkedIn-ification of professional sports is only good when it makes me laugh.

Tech bros think the plagarism machine is more human & deserving of rights & freedoms than you

But I will say if the only value you see in a baseball player is their stats and contract details you're missing some very fun things about baseball

I don't have to talk about this anymore because Kelsey explained it all here.
