2025 Topps #676, Blake Snell ⭐
Last night Snell threw a 1-hit shutout through 8 innings, facing the minimum. This had not been done in post season play since Don Larson's perfect game in the 1956 World Series.
In an interview about his performance, I read this Blake Snell quote on ESPN.com today:
""Even playing against them, watching, it was just always in the back of my mind, like, I wanted to be a Dodger and play on that team," Snell said. "To be here now, it's a dream come true. I couldn't wish for anything more."
The Dodgers have a long and distinguished lineage of pitchers.
Is Snell's quote representative of the feelings of the majority of MLB pitchers?
