80s Baseball Player of the Day

An ode to baseball's eightiest decade

On this date in baseball back in 1982, Mario Mendoza hit into a fielder’s choice in his final Major League at-bat. With a career batting average of .215 (as well as a truly fetid .507 career OPS), Mendoza was the eponymous owner of the dreaded “Mendoza Line.” Is it just me, or does Mendoza look like “The Thing”-era Wilford Brimley?
