Eric Thames! I think that's the Brewer in question... Also thought of Jeremy Hazelbaker.

Aristides Aquino had fun run for 56 games in 2019. It was a fund ride while it lasted.

Just hearing some random anecdotes from May about the inner workings of a major league pitching staff is super cool…not to mention the insights from everyone else. Thanks for the pod fellas

[@zakshiba1888]

also as a Giants fan i’ll always think of 2021 Darin Ruf when one hit wonders come up even though he had some other passable partial seasons

[@SSman560]

Bo hart is my homer one hit wonder. Looking back at that baseball reference page the stats aren't as impressive as it was at the time but he was a spark plug
