Re: George Brett - One of the best baseball players of all time, and easily the best 3rd baseman.
But no matter how often you repeat this false statement, it will remain false. It is this false assumption that causes all of your arguments to fail. I point that out for the benefit of those who will understand what I'm saying; it is not directed at you. -
Re: George Brett - One of the best baseball players of all time, and easily the best 3rd baseman.
I knew you wouldn't answer, but I didn't realize you'd spend so many words not answering. I'm confused, though, why you wrote "Answer" and then followed that with something about "agility and speed".

@dallasactuary I should have been clearer as mine was not a 'get you to think' post as much as an actual question. I do respect your opinion and intelligence and these two guys being compared got me wondering if there is an actual tipping point, all things being equal. And I am well aware that other factors come into play…
