It was a magical and never achieved number in the 1970s. Bobby Bonds was very close a few times. He was overshadowed by his son, but he was a great player in his own right. Even though he was considered a bit of a disappointment because he was supposed to be Willie Mays. Just like Bobby Murcer, who the Yanks traded for Bonds, was supposed to be Mickey Mantle. Bonds was that unique power and speed guy. He was harshly criticized for his high strikeout totals, which mean very little today. Poor Murcer. Such a wonderful man. Being from Oklahoma and an all around player drew those unfair comparisons to Mantle. |

They make too much of these new minor feats like the immaculate inning. Frankly, I find a 3 pitch inning to be more immaculate than 3 strikeouts without throwing a ball... I agree. But stupid stats are some of the most fun. Like inside the park grand slams. |

Eric Davis was close in the 1980s. That guy was an exciting player, just couldn’t stay healthy. Played one way: all out all the time. Led to many wall collisions. He was a great talent. Right around the same time Kal Daniels came up with the Reds . Man could he hit. But injuries shortened his career too if memory serves. One of my roommates in college was from Kentucky, right across the river from Cincinnati. He was wild about Davis, Daniels, and O’Neill. |

Judge with a rare fielding miscue. Took his eye off the ball to glance at the runner.

bull feathers. This is what you get with three players out of position to accommodate one...
