Value and Appearance in Baseball

This chapter explores the dilemma of exceptional players on non-competitive teams, emphasizing the joy they bring to fans and the need for a reframing of 'wasted talent.' The discussion shifts playfully to player aesthetics, particularly focusing on Dustin May's striking appearance on the Boston Red Sox and how it contrasts with team colors, along with humor on other players' looks. Finally, it highlights Paul Skeens' impressive performance, drawing attention to the complexities of evaluating player success independent of win-loss records.
