If it wasn't for him, JK would have the worst BA in the last 100 years.

He's actually behind Ray Oyler. That's just mind-blowing.

Honorable mention goes to Bill Bergen who over 100 years ago hit .170 from 1901 - 1911. JK's still ahead of him. 😄

I wouldn't be surprised if JK ends up like Bill's brother Marty....
Death
In January 1900, at his home in North Brookfield, Massachusetts, the 28-year-old Bergen was found dead in a murder–suicide.[15] Neighbors expressed shock and said they saw no warning signs. Several had seen him before the tragedy unfolded, and recalled him as "unusually cheerful" and "pleasant" when conversing with them. The neighbors also told reporters how devoted he always seemed to his wife.[16] The medical examiner reported that Bergen killed his wife and two children with an axe, then used a straight razor to forcefully cut his own throat. Bergen's father discovered the bodies. According to The New York Times:

The little boy [Bergen's 3-year-old son] was lying on the floor with a large wound in the head. Mrs. Bergen's skull was terribly crushed, having evidently been struck more than one blow by the infuriated husband. The appearance of the little girl [his 6-year-old daughter found on the kitchen floor next to Bergen] also showed that a number of savage blows had been rained upon the top and side of her head. Bergen's throat had been cut with a razor, and the head was nearly severed.[17]

In actuality, the razor cut likely would not have been able to sever enough ligaments to go deep enough to nearly sever Bergen's head, but it would have created a lot of blood from slicing the jugular vein and carotid artery, making it appear that the head had been nearly severed from the body.[2]

And the guy was completely off his rocker as a player. The part where he walked like a crab so he could spot potential assassins, holy shit. It's just baffling that he even managed to marry and have a family.

Maybe we're being a little harsh on Kelenic...

Forget how he's had one of the worst starts ever- this guy shows how Kelenic compares to Byron Buxton.........

Sure his OPS is almost 100 points lower, but that's just because his average, obp and slugging were all lower 👍

So Buxton was way better across the board......
Not sure what point they are trying to make with this.

I saw that. LOL I am just about to head out to the pool for the first time this year. The odds of JK ending up as good as Buxton are about the same as me being as "Tan" as Buxton by 5pm. lol

Exactly and his BA was 47 points or 27% higher. Basically the same as the difference between a .250 hitter and a .318 hitter.
