Dad’s Take on Mick Abel
Look at this kid with his fancy wind-up pose like he's auditioning for a statue in the Hall of Fame! He's got that fresh-faced rookie look like he just graduated from Little League yesterday, and now he thinks he's hot stuff because he made his MLB debut. Back in my day, pitchers didn't need to pose like Greek gods – they just threw the ball and got the job done without all the theatrical nonsense!
