Message: [QUOTE="boog204, post: 5291091, member: 880"] Not sure if we have same definition of “prolonged.” Penny had four healthy seasons and then was never the same. He played 14 years, but was an absolute shell of the explosive player he was. Mattingly had a slightly longer run of 5-6 years as arguably the best player in the sport and then almost overnight he had no power and couldn’t move. He still played out 6-7 more years. So neither guy had their careers shortened. They were just shadows of self. Lin is the probably the ultimate example for this thread because for two weeks he was it. And then… Fidrych at least got a year. [/QUOTE]
