My Take
Steve Stone's career fascinates me because his peak burned so bright. In 1980 he went 25-7 for the Baltimore Orioles, won the American League Cy Young Award, and made the All Star team, which is about as good as a season gets for a pitcher. Yet he retired in 1981, just a year later, after pitching for four teams across a decade from 1971. That short window at the top makes me curious about what his arm paid for that brilliance. What I appreciate is that he did not vanish; he reinvented himself as a sportscaster and author, staying in the game by talking about it.
