If you include pitchers and lower the standard to 20 HRs you have Milt Pappas who hit .123 with 20 HRs. Maybe Milt Pappas was Zunino's Idol when he was a kid...? You might remember Earl Wilson, who was sometimes called upon to pinch-hit when he wasn’t pitching for Boston or Detroit. A .195 BA, but ...

Sorry for any confusion my generalizations may have caused. There have been multiple posters over the years who posted comments about choice of hair styles, tattoos etc and tried to tie it to some supposed character flaw. Generally terms like "gangsta" or "hood rat" were thrown in. For the record, ...

Rose had 12 consecutive years of over 700 PA’s! Including at age 42. From 1971-80, he missed a measly 15 games! Over 4,000 hits. One of the greatest competitors in baseball history. Rose may have started his career as a “scrappy competitor” but he clearly let the “Charlie Hustle” image go to his he...

Too much ego + Too much champagne + too much testerone = Too much time to figure out what his next career is going to be. I don't feel even a little sympathy for the asshat, since he brought it on himself...

Oh, you mean King Felix.............. By Connor Byrne | September 27, 2019 at 1:01am CDT Mariners legend Felix Hernandez may...

Has any pitcher in history had more quality starts that ended in no-decisions? Although it’s clear that Felix needs to retire, there was a a decade or so where he was one of the best and, unfortunately, one of the few reasons to watch the M’s. Too bad he never made it to the postseason...

Disliking Ichiro does not make one a racist, but being enamored of hitters who keep the bat on their shoulders in the hopes of drawing a walk while dismissing the best singles hitter of the last hundred years makes me question your judgement. No kid ever ran the old “two outs, bottom of the ninth in...

In the 1980s I came across a brand of baseballs that were simply a solid hard plastic sphere that had a regular horsehide cover laced over the sphere. There was also contact adhesive involved to help keep the cover stuck tight to the core. These balls really traveled. Later I found the same constru...

Clearly being overused like that caused him to blow out his arm- 19 years later
