Message: [QUOTE="jncuse, post: 5206986, member: 1969"] Fidrych is still remembered but it was a lower impact in my opinion anyway- Fernando had more factors going for him in 81 that took it to another level-- the Market itself and the cultural impact, the 1981 World Series victor winner, the "screwball". I'd say another comparable was Dwight Gooden in 1984/1985 who captured the baseball world's attention at the age of 19 and 20 - and those were his best years. But Fernandomania was still above that.
