Do we really want Hicks and Stanton to return?

Tauchman passes for the two-pointer!... This has me thinking about players that had decent careers, but one really exceptional season. REALLY exceptional. I’m hoping tat’s not what we’re seeing, but it just made me way nostalgic for some old names that would fit the bill. I don’t mean Brady Anderson. I know he hit 50 one year and never more than 21 before, nor 24 after. His OPS + the year he hit 50 was around 160, I think, but although you might not realize it, he had 4 other seasons that he posted up in the 130’s or so. I’m thinking more like guys who popped for a season that was, let’s say... at least 40 OPS+ points higher than any other season they ever had, and that they’d have to have at least an eight year career...I’m thinking Jim Gentile and Norm Cash, 1961. Joe Torre had that great .363 year, I think that was 170+ territory, but he had other seasons in the 130-145 range...So HE doesn’t count, either... Think, men. Think... Kaybli. Can you please move this post to the new thread I created for this subject? |

I've been watching the first part of the game, and chatting with my wife....these Yankees are hitting on all cylinders...….what fun to watch....
love the talk about Iowa....I love those rolling hills and farmland...having a historic house in a small town in Iowa is as American as you can get...wonderful people live there....
Am I the only one who was disappointed the director/producer of The Field of Dreams did not insist that Joe Jackson be correctly portrayed as a LH hitter?.....it reduced my enjoyment of an overall fine film....

Do we really want Hicks and Stanton to return? Mike Ford is at DH tonight, so yeah I'd rather see Stanton there. |

Is Kaybli working, at a birthday party, or a strip club?

I always thought, and still do, that Ray Liotta was the one person miscast in the movie. |

Typical Hollywood liberties with the truth. Also the completely unnecessary anachronism for Moonlight Graham's career. But I still liked the film. If only for the scene about the catch or the emergence from the cornfield. |
