You're spot on with that comment. I remember the late-80s hype surrounding Jeffries. Fielding ground balls - that were wrapped in electrical tape - on an asphalt surface / taking BP swings while standing in a swimming pool. These things would have "gone viral" on YouTube and "broken the Internet" back then.
Too bad we only had network TV, and maybe cable. Maybe that's why we were only paying $4 for Jeffries' rookie.
