Your all-time favorite player and why

[soxfan1468927]

I believe the answer there is two.

IIRC, someone got a hit, and he walked a dude. Just off the top of my head.

Thanks but I'm thinking Chewbaccer will remind us of that in 30 seconds.

Chewy's the man. His ideas aren't stupid and you're unlikely to change them.

From my perspective, you're both repeating yourselves.

I didn't say his ideas are stupid (at least not this one), just explaining why I disagree with it. I fully understand the merit of his position and don't plan on changing them.

Your memory of that game is cloudy. Wasn't anything like that.

It was an impressive game, but he allowed a single and he hit Craig Biggio.

Had that lone infield hit been the only baserunner, I might entertain the thought, but he also hit a batter.

It seems a little harsh holding this against him, there are guys who got charged with a HBP just by being in the same room as Craig Biggio

Cut me some slack. I personally put NE Ohio on the map in terms of Chopin Vodka consumption.

 

[Chewbaccer]

Okay remind me again how many baserunners Kerry Wood allowed.

2, and thus, a perfect game>

Alright man. I can understand this coming from a Braves fan. Maddux and Glavine were masters of the low BABIP

I don't know, I have a lot of stupid ideas.

Smoltzie was my favorite though. I was too young to really appreciate the great years Maddux and Glavine had.

I've got a pair of hiking boots older than you.

Good for you. You headstone will be a lot older than mine as well, bech.

Here I thought it was the really nice design of the bottle. Don't look nothin' like the crap that kilt my old man.

Yep, and it will be shaped like a air-cooled, fuel-injected, jackhammer dildo.

Slightly to modify this, I was thinking, which player would I like to see all-time?
Obviously Ruth but there is plenty of film of him.
I would love to have seen Walter Johnson pitch.

 

[obxyankeefan]

Favorite all time Mattingly
Favorite now Giancarlo Stanton

Spoiler

@SlinkyRedfoot I want to say Jose Fernandez

 

[rmilia1]

Barry Bonds. Guy was the ultimate baseball player and the only guy in my lifetime in any sport where he literally changed how the game was played.
