An interesting observation from Hollis Thomas this morning on WIP radio:

Hollis Thomas on @WIPMorningShow just made a great point: Dom Brown’s troubles began at plate began when he wore the Michael Irvin jersey.

Got me to thinking… is that really true? Certainly seemed like it.

Dom Brown posted the image of himself wearing the Michael Irvin jersey in early September of 2013. Below is Brown’s monthly OPS+, which describes his OPS in relation to the league’s for that particular month.

Brown was trending in the wrong direction by September of 2013 anyway, but it’s quite clear, by anyone using any sense of logic or rational thought that if Dom Brown were to burn that jersey, it will save his career.
