In order for this poll to be designated a "statistical record of scientific merit" by the National Bureau of Standards there need to be at least 20 distinct data points (i.e. votes). That's where you come in.

I have it on good authority that GL_Storm was a Sinistar fiend in the early 80s, and Pharmabro used to hang out all night at 7-11 working the Zaxxon machine.
I did love me some of that Spy Hunter, and Tron, Mrs Pacman, space invaders, Asteroids, Joust, 1942, Defender, Dig Doug, paperboy, Mario, Mortal Combat, good memories

I don't think Dan will be ripping players over their slugging. Lou called him his best hit and run hitter. I think that's the kind of thing he will be looking for, failing to move the runner up, not hitting behind the runner, not bringing in a runner on 3rd. That's the kind of stuff lead to a discussion
