## Caption

In 1978, Gary Redus had the greatest statistical season in professional baseball history ⚾️

The 21-year-old Redus was at a crossroads that summer: end his baseball career or keep playing. His mom telling him to “Just go play,” is what kept him going

After that magical season, he went on to play 13 years in the Majors for the Reds, Phillies, White Sox, Pirates, and Rangers
