80s Baseball Player of the Day

An ode to baseball's eightiest decade

Despite the chopper mustache, beefy sideburns, extra-medium hair, affinity toward pastel clothing and the fact he was born in Brooklyn, Dennis Leonard wasn’t known to be a hipster.
Also, despite being a three-time 20-game winner for the Royals when they were actually relevant, Leonard never made an All-Star team.
Chances are he probably turned that internal rage into a mean slam poetry performance piece. Or wrote a self-produced novella about it.
