Four players. Four careers that should have been legendary. One rookie owned the summer of 1976 and packed every ballpark he pitched in. Another had 100 home runs by age 22. A third set a rookie strikeout record that stood for almost 30 years. The fourth was one of the best pure hitters of the 1970s and maybe the most generous man in the game. None of them got the career they earned, and each one lost it in a single moment.

Peter Lemieux counts down numbers five through two on Rounding Third. Number one is coming in Part 2.
