    Default "The Best Player You Never Saw"

    I just read this SI article from last month about a guy named Brian Cole. Have you heard of him? I hadn't, so couldn't believe it when I found out more.

    Definitely worth a read:

    I can honestly say I have never heard of him but its obvious that had tragedy not occurred, we all would have.

    Great story, thanks for the share!

    I read that in the magazine and then questioned whether it was real. Check out the date

    If it's real it's amazing. I haven't done any Googling to find out if it is yet.

    I got half way through reading the article in the magazine and thought it was a bit convenient that he knew all these current great ball players. But hey maybe it's real. I haven't checked it

    Edit: Wow it might be real

    That's the published date of the article - it was the April 2013 issue.
