Pretty Good: Lonnie Smith

[El Poyo Loco]

This is and old short series by SB Nation called Pretty Good

This one chronicles 3x World Series champion Lonnie Smith who's more remembered for a game 7 gaffe than his stellar yet bad luck career. This 23 minute short takes you from Rookie year to the Pittsburg Drug Trials to plotting to kill his GM his comeback and that game 7 that overshadowed everything.

The worst good player ever. It really was treat or trick with him.

The collusion to keep him out and Hank Aaron vouched for him to bring him back

Yeah, I was so mad at him I tossed all his baseball cards as soon as I saw one in the pack.
