Lloyd Alexander’s Chronicles of Prydain would seem like a good fit alongside these other series

I think that’s clearly wrong - baseball memory doesn’t work that way, and he’s going to be remember in Boston forever. And I tend to think casuals are going to remember the Boston part, and particularly their letting him go. But it’ll be interesting to see!

And the Sox letting him go is such an infamous blunder that he’ll always be connected to them. He was an icon in Boston and is one of many icons on this Dodgers team. So I think there’s a good chance he’ll be more tied to the Sox in history (2/2)

How he’ll be remembered is an interesting question. Chads right that he’ll go into the Hall as a Dodger; he’ll have played there longer and had more overall success there. But he made his name w/ the Sox and had best year (2018) with them (1/2)
