<< <i>Long story short, it's pathetic and unfortunate that Robin Yount, Tony Perez, Paul Molitor, and Kirby Puckett are in the HOF >> Well I think that you are way off base on the Yount comment so here are some facts for you. In a list comparing similar batters, Yount ranks right up there with five others who are in the… -
Re: What happened to Jim Rice at the end of his career?
Yes, I understand what you mean, but I certainly appreciate the concern. Having attending only 40-60 baseball games in person (Sox season ticket holder) every year for the last 22 years, I guess I don't understand much about how baseball really works. I'm sure spending a few seasons in front of a computer reading about new… -

He did not finish the 1975 season either as his hand was broken by a pitch late in the season.… -

Re: What happened to Jim Rice at the end of his career?
I apologize for being wrong. Robin Yount, as explained so clearly to me twice now, was exactly average for 1/3 of his career, and in fact above average, when compared to other SS, who apparently were all well below average at the time. And his HOF credentials keep coming and coming... As for the use of statistics, I…
