Junior Felix was a flash star for the Trono Blue Jays way back when. We commented on it yesterday when we saw Adam Lind hit a triple to a deep corner at Fenway Park, and we remarked that was the same place Junior Felix hit a grand slam inside-the-park home run.
It turns out that Junior Felix had likely lied (significantly) about his age. When the Marlins drafted him in the expansion draft, his stated age was 25 but many people suspected he was well over 30. He was released after playing only 57 games.
I wonder if the Marlins are having him at the park today as they celebrate their 20th anniversary. After all, he did appear in the first game that team played.
