As a long time baseball fan, I hate that I have to be suspicious of every player performance that is above the norm.
For example:
- Chris Davis's 53 home runs this year after averaging approx. 15.5 for his first 5 MLB seasons,
- Jose Bautista's 54 HR's in 2010 and 43 in 2011 when he never even hit 20 in any previous year, and
- Certainly David Ortiz hitting better than .700 in this year's world Series.
No great performance can go unquestioned.
Anyone else feel this way?
A Yankees fan questioning the performance of a Red Sox player. I'm stunned.
