Ever since I learned who Arky Vaughan is from Bill James back in the day, Arky's been one of my favorite "greatest player who nobody knows" guys, and Joe's article just cements that.
Mirroring real life, Arky's PT value is incredibly underrated. I've been embarrassingly proud to have Arky be a huge part of my PT 1.0 and 2.0 teams (and I can't imagine he won't eventually be a member of Red Raiders PT3.0!). Whenever a long-time PT Red Raider is replaced, I hold on to the card for a while but eventually break down and sell it...except for Arky. He will forever occupy a spot on my reserve roster. |
I am riveted by these articles as well.
