Jasson Dominguez just made history that Mike Trout and Mickey Mantle never matched
The New York Yankees’ signing of Jasson “The Martian” Dominguez as an amateur back in 2019 was immediately earth-shattering enough to inspire embarrassingly dramatic odes to his soon-to-develop talent. It was a neverending race to the loftiest heights of comparison warfare. “He’s Mike Trout!” “No, he’s Mickey Mantle!” “Actually, he’s Shohei Ohtani — and a […]
