From a Washington Post column by Hugh Hewitt headlined “Scouting Report: Who will win the GOP 2024 nomination?”:

Hope springs eternal, in baseball as in politics. We Cleveland fans happily took note of five Guardians players on the new MLB Network list of the top 100. Three of the five weren’t on the list last year. One, outfielder Steve Kwan, had never swung a bat in the majors before his breakout 2022 season. Things change quickly, and hope is surging in Cleveland. But as with mutual funds, so with ballplayers: Past results are not a guarantee of future performance.
