Do Not Sell My Personal Information
One more hit for Kwan would put him at 300, which should then have him immediately removed from the game.
 

Damn. You attend the game probably thinking twice about those ticket prices you paid and leave the game being able to retire for life.
 
If there's a history HR ball flying right at you and some guy jumps 4 seats over to try and pass interference your TD grab, are we throwing hands for that ball while it bobbles away???

I think the dude that caught it had a mit though so he reached and teached

might be the same for Giminez

It sucks that HRs defines a RoY, but then again Julio is 21 years old and has stats literally across the board. He's the unanimous for sure.
 
Ruth played in a different era...no African-Americans, no Hispanics...no pitching specialists.

But...

The ball was not nearly as lively as it is today.

The strike zone was bigger.

He basically hit against 28 of the top 32 pitchers in the AL.

If he had played for Cleveland in his era with the schedule we have today, the only Central Division pitchers he would have faced would have been Cease and Giolito.

In his era of 22 years he was 106% better than average, which means he basically averaged Aaron Judges career year. His average season was 14% better than Pujols best season.

He did it without any modern year round training and no nutritional diets. While he began as a very big man, he played most of his career fat. He also had none of the coaching and analytics of today.

If you just count his age 24 year, when he became a full time position player, thru age 37, his OPS+ was above 200 eleven out of 14 season.

Oh, he would have made the HOF as a pitcher, had he remained one. His ERA+ as a full time pitcher was 125, all before he was 25 yrs old. 125 is higher than any Cleveland pitcher who has made the HOF, save for three.

His combined WAR was 180.8...about 20 above anybody else.
great info Cats - btw, did you get his autograph?
 
Guys ... notice what happens for even a 4pm game (meaningless as it is). It a huge game for the kids like Brennan and Oscar but we are all quiet. Too many people trying to work late for Friday early day, I guess. But, up 8-2 ... why are our starters still in with soo many close calls on potential injury (face plants, HBP ... I thought it was 4-5 innings and pull a few.
 
WHOA.

Eli you need to be a little more sneaky, I could clearly see you had the ball gripped for a changeup well before you threw it!!!!
