The Season

My starting point was to choose a team that went .500 in a regular season that was as nondescript as possible yet still had an angle, an edge to it.

The Team

Once I had compiled that list, I scanned it looking for a suitable candidate to be our subject for Volume 1. As soon as I came to the ’85 Red Sox, I knew my search was over.

The Player

Given what is so imminently ahead of him from the vantage point of 1985, the choice of Billy Bucks was equally a no-brainer.

Thanks to BBRef for being such an invaluable treasure trove of info - it is almost exclusively their stuff you'll be seeing screenshots of along the way.
