MLB Daily Thread: YANKS LOSE DODGERS WIN CARDS ARE COMING

[SlinkyRedfoot]

yes

I looked at one more (after Winfield) based on your hint and found the last one.

Fuck the last guy.

 

[Rock Strongo]

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.

he would have had a shot at 800 HR if he stuck. 38 away...doable.

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

yup

so now we have:

henderson
yaz
murray
winfield

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

Two teammates hit HRs as their 3,000 hits. Name them.

Yeah, but remember the climate at that time? And he was the #1A scapegoat.

Certainly teams could have decided they didn't want the distractions/drama/bad press that came along with signing him, but I'm not sure that qualifies as blackballed.

Then again, maybe he was blackballed.

Hint: they're both faggots

Shocked. Pleased, but shocked.

jeter
boggs

Mmm, that's good counting

 

[Rock Strongo]

Mmm, that's good counting

well, technically wade and jeter were teammates....

 

[black francis]

Wade Boggs = huge waste of talent

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

rodriguez
jeter
boggs

Yeah and Boggs and Rodriguez weren't teammates.

You suck at this trivia shit, Rock.

but jeter and boggs were

 

[Rock Strongo]

Wade Boggs = huge waste of talent

could have hit for power if he wanted to

 

[black francis]

could have hit for power if he wanted to

yep

more interested in his batting average

boston could have won a WS with him if he had given full effort

 

[Rock Strongo]

i remember this stat the year boggs fell off a table and hit .259 here

had he retired at age 33 his average would have been .345 with a .906 OPS

he would be in the top 5 all time in BA between tris speaker and ed delahanty

the closest modern guy behind him would have been tony gwynn at .338, or 18th all time. boggs is 33rd right now (.327)

Really? You think he could have drank more than 64 beers on that flight?
