Breaking Down Crash

Posted on March 22, 2007 by Tito

Joe Posnanski tries to figure who’d be the ‘real-world’ Crash Davis (dismissing Buck Rogers as an unlikely Pynchon reader). Some good analysis in the comments, too, from Devin:

Crash was probably caught in a numbers game. I think he would have been in his prime around the time teams stopped carrying three catchers and during the collusion era when teams went to 24-man rosters. Also, he fit between the ‘77 and ‘93 expansion years. He could have hung on if the Rockies and Marlins had entered the league in ‘85.
