Re: Strawberry on HOF ballot
There are more guys closer to 500 then Kingman and Canseco, if you were talking about not in the HOF then I think you're right. Only other guys above them are in the HOF or still active, not positive on this though. Mcgriff is less then 10 away from 500, it will be interesting to see if he gets in. As for Canseco, I think… -
Re: Measuring Defense and the case of Ozzie Smith
I'll add one more thing in defense of Ozzie. Another significant aspect of defense by a shortstop is his ability to turn double plays, and Ozzie was excellent at not just getting the assist on out #1, but in getting the ball to the 2B fast enough and in the right place that out #2 could also be made. Can I demonstrate that… -

According to the James Wiles, author of the CONECA Attribution Guide to Eisenhower Dollar Die Varieties, early on in the production cycle of the 1974 Silver… -
Re: The current state of MLB
> > It's also a bad conclusion because the situational decisions are being ignored. There are times when a stolen base attempt also can keep you out of a double play or get your team a run it needs to get back into a game. The analytics guys have gone overboard, The other day I saw two singles that were 22 "hoppers" go… -

Re: Beating a Dead Horse, or Who Belongs in the HOF
<< <i>I don't disagree that those things could play a role, they are human. I wouldn't put the 'existence of clutch players argument' at the 95% threshold...certainly some grey area. The 95% threshold has to do with baseball hitting specificially, i.e. the value of a BB, 1B, 2B, 3B, HR, SO, Outs Made, in terms of what they… -

Re: Old News? Anyone see the most recent Coin World article about the 10 1933 double eagles?
It's a LONG story but a few highlights below: "Bill would legitimize all pre-1933 coinage" 1. make immune from seizure any coins, medals, or other numismatic items made or issued prior to 1/1/33. 2a) if made on or after 1/1/33 the bill would require the mint to "display & preserve an appropriate number"...for… -
Re: Robinson Cano for MVP
We all know that the Yankees haters just need to keep digging for reasons to hate them. The Yankees farm system has proved many people to be wrong and the only thing they can do is talk crap about these kids who have come up to do an excellent job. Pretty sad really. In fact, better than excellent because they have HUGE… -
Re: What? Jeter won a Gold Glove this year?
All through the season you hear how his range and play has slipped at SS, but he still wins a Gold Glove. I think even casual baseball fans realize it's just as much of an offensive award as it defensive...and even with his worst full season, Jeter's offense was still among the best (or at least right there with Alexei…
