My Take
Erik Goeddel is the kind of player I quietly root for. A 191 cm pitcher out of Hillsborough, California, he passed through three storied franchises, the Mets, Mariners, and Dodgers, which tells me his arm was wanted even if his name never headlined. I like the tension between a Sagittarius free streak and the precision a pitcher's job demands. Bullpen arms rarely get the glory, but the discipline of doing your job inning after inning has its own dignity, and that appeals to me far more than highlight-reel fame. I hope his post-baseball chapter is treating him well.
