40 years ago today, Dickie Thon returned from a devastating eye injury, but he was never the same player.
A year before his early-1984 injury, he led the NL in WAR, with 7.4 as a Silver Slugger-winning shortstop.
Another great career ruined by injury.

Just cause this place feels like 2012 Twitter doesn't mean the Astros need to play like they did in 2012.

I asked a couple weeks ago, but is anyone planning on going to Wagners induction?
Billy Wagner has 103 of 120 publicly released HoF votes so far. As you can see from his chart (top left), it's the highest he's every been in HOF voting.
He's gained 8 votes from voters who did not include him on their ballot last year, and he fell short by only 5 votes last year.
Encouraging.

Year over year tracking at 120 ballots for Billy Wagner, Carlos Beltrán, Andruw Jones and CC Sabathia (first year on ballot versus Roy Halladay and Joe Mauer):
