Never going to have another 100 stolen base season again

Just be patient.

Just be patient.

If Kenny Lofton couldn't do it in the 90's...NOBODY is doing it ever again.

Maybe Willie Mays Hayes?

Mickey Mantle: "Hell, If I'd known 40–40 was going to be a big deal, I'd have done it every year!"

Mickey Mantle: "Hell, If I'd known 40–40 was going to be a big deal, I'd have done it every year!"

But he didn’t, and he’s dead now, so he doesn’t belong in this thread.

Mickey Mantle: "Hell, If I'd known 40–40 was going to be a big deal, I'd have done it every year!"

He's got some good Pete Rose quotes too.

 

[DHoey]

if Mantel had not been playing on one leg, he probably been on that list 5 - 6 times.

Bobby Mantel???

But he didn’t, and he’s dead now, so he doesn’t belong in this thread.

I don't disagree, it's probably going to be a while before we see someone threaten the 100 SB threshold much less surpass it. But this isn't the first time stolen bases have been this low, in fact they've been lower than this.

It's too bad Billy Hamilton's speed came with a .296 OBP.

He's got some good Pete Rose quotes too.

Let’s hear some.

 

[DHoey]

Let’s hear some.

"...if I had played my career hitting singles like Pete, I'd wear a dress."

He named him Charlie Hustle, for trying to jump the wall and catch a Mantle homer that was 20' over his head.

Thought they meant MadDog 20-20.

Mick probably could have if he wasn't drunk half the time.

Mickey Mantle, along with every other player that willingly played for the Yankees was a major fag. Fuck that guy.

Have you been a little bitch your whole life, or is it a recent development?

I get more and more jaded the older I get. 30 is sneaking up quick and I have coping issues when it comes to age.

Getting old sucks.....Get used to shitting your pants and losing your hearing.
