Comparing MLB Superstars to Game of Thrones Characters

Arya Stark – Starling Marte

Reasoning: He’s young. He’s fast. He plays with Needle(s). While Starling Marte might not own a sword like the youngest Stark daughter, the Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder was suspended 80 games by Major League Baseball after testing positive for a performance-enhancing substance. If we factor in the revenge element of Stark, then Marte is the top choice. Marte returns from his suspension next week and “revenge” against his critics is certainly on his mind. The all-star outfielder spoke to reporters prior to a rehab game on Wednesday, telling them he earned his pre-suspension numbers, according to Stephen J. Nesbitt of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. “I cannot control what people think, and people will have many different thoughts about this,” Marte said. “I believe the numbers I put in were all legitimate, put in through effort, a lot of effort, a lot of work, to get that completed and get that done. Similarly, Arya put a lot of effort into her “kill list” and we shall see if when Marte returns, if he returns as the predator he once was, or the prey.
