Nobody electrified Goal Patrollers like O'Brian White. And it's hard to imagine anyone coming close in the Jamaican-born Hermann Trophy winner's wake.

It's a pretty easy recipe to follow. Take one late-blooming slugger who is putting up the best statistics of his career at age 37. Add a blogger who is determined to figure out where such a jump in production could come from.
