I remember . . . Mike Pagliarulo

Highlights: http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/p/paglimi01.shtml

This guy's going to be big (I have a dozen of his rookie cards I can sell you) . . . Had one decent season in 1987 (with 32 HRs and 87 RBIs) but even then his OBP barely topped .300. Why exactly did we think he was going to be a star? . . . He really wasn't very good . . . His son played for the 2009 Ivy League champion Dartmouth baseball team.
