I haven't heard the name Jim Eisenreich in years. I did occasionally wonder what he could have become with better health care. An initial diagnosis of "stage fright" that caused him to wash out and eventually come back years later after being medicated for Tourrette's Syndrome. Fast centerfield who, in his brief time in the minors before medical issues cropped up did everything well. His eventual MLB time was fine but definitely a huge 'what if' career.
