I resorted to 'Googling" it and still have not found answer....help!

 

[KingEleven]

After all this time, I JUST realized this thread is from 12 years ago!!!! Is Journeyman not on here anymore? Anyone know the answer to this?

 

[KingEleven]

I've tried Google and Bing. Nothing. Anyone?

I looked but couldn't find it. Seems to reference a baseball player who is good in spring training but not during the season

 

[KingEleven]

I have heard the term used in a generic sense, but never heard it attached as a nickname. Perhaps Journeyman made the whole thing up? I assume he doesn't post here anymore?

Willie Upshaw

Here’s some history as a guide: Before becoming a starter, Blue Jays first baseman Willie Upshaw was a spring hero. Entering the 1982 season, he had a .186 average and six home runs in three regular seasons, yet he had batted .433 and .333 in back-to-back springs with 13 exhibition homers, first earning the moniker Mr. March.
