Jankowski does have better hair than Soto

Soto named NL player of the month for June.Good thing for the Mets they didn't DFA him 6 weeks into a 15 year deal.

Soto’s no longer a Yankee, so you don’t have to hate him so much

Well, yes, I'm willing to concede on that point.

Pretty sure Babe Ruth had a bad month or two every now and then.
