POLL 3000+ or .300+ ?

[nynasty]

foxx/ruth/hornsby and al simmons didnt

Interesting. All listed played in the days of the 154 game season. With an extra 8 games X 20 years, I betcha they would.

Y’all could fuck up receiving a blowie.

Do you want a long career as a starter and average .300 or have 3000 hits?

It’s not a hard question.

except it is very rare for players to have played 162 games even in a 162 game season... And most players with 15+ seasons have seasons where they did not even reach 100 games... so in reality you can really average only 4 more games per season... if we round that up to a 100 games and 400 PA... lets take 50 of those PA out for walks and sacrifices... so that is 350 AB...

350 that is only 105 more hits...

would not have gotten Ruth or Foxx over... Would have gotten Hornsby over...

Why are y’all subbing someone else’s Judgment for your own??

Do you care more about the baseball writers’ opinion of you than the ACTUAL career you, yourself, would be having??

Sorry ass society.

You should go ... from your teams I'm guessing that you're in the Boston area ... it's only a 4 hour drive (give or take 3 days because of the traffic in Boston).

Lots of the 3000 didn’t average .300

No, which I thought I'd included ... if you averaged .300 for 20 years you would have

3,500 hits

(which is more than 3,000)

Get it?

Why are you hung up on ‘20 years of full time yearly play’?

Like I said, y’all could fuck up a blowie.

I even gave mock example numbers from the beginning to avoid your idiotic pedantry, yet here we are FOUR pages later...

It’s a simple question: do you want a long starter’s career and average .300 or hit 3000?
