MLB Daily Thread: YANKS LOSE DODGERS WIN CARDS ARE COMING

[apachef4]

rickey henderson never had a 200 hit season. there are 4 other guys in the 3,000 hit club who also never had a 200 hit season.

name them

hint: we saw 2 (maybe 3 depending on age) play. 1 is prehistoric.

Just because he was recent: Beltre?

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

Eddie Murray is one.

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

Just because he was recent: Beltre?

He had one 200 hit season - 2004. There are at least a handful of guys in the club that just had one 200+ hit season.

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

I found another one.

I'm not looking anymore, though.

Just because he was recent: Beltre?

NO

 

[Rock Strongo]

nope

So apparently the Mets and Yankees agreed on a deal for Bruce

Alderson went to Wilpon for approval and Wilpon said "no trades with the Yankees"

Many think Alderson will quit over this at seasons end

The Mets took a nothing prospect over 2 "decent prospects" from the Yankees, all because of their insecurity

Loserville

and the Yankees didnt want to spend another $4M to pass Boston

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

Mike Illitich bought the Detroit Tigers in 1992 for $82MM. This past April, Forbes valued the club at $1.2 billion.

That is fucking staggering.

In theory, they could have lost nearly $45MM every year that they owned the team, sell it this year and break even.

I like these trivia questions, but I'm horrible at them. I didn't start really following baseball until 2003.

Yep. It's not our fault the Yankees have a cheapskate owner that doesn't give a shit about winning.

 

[Rock Strongo]

Yount

NOPE

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

Steinbrenner bought the Yankees in '72 for $8.7MM. Forbes valued it at $3.7B.

They could have lost $82MM per year for the last 45, sell it and break even.

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

Dave Winfield.

 

[molsaniceman]

Yount

yaz

 

[navamind]

nope

oh shit, I thought they both had 3000 hits. Ted had 2654 and Barry had 2935. I find it hard to believe Bonds wasn't blackballed, the guy had a 169 OPS+ his final year. I don't think he would have limped his way to 3000.

 

[Rock Strongo]

Dave Winfield.

yes

 

[Rock Strongo]

yaz

yup

so now we have:

henderson
yaz
murray
winfield

the other is cap anson, whom no one would have gotten
