Put all of your Best I ever saw at throwing from underneath (Beltre) and Asian Pitchers use deception posts here. No one: This game hasnt changed Hawk: People who say the game hasnt changed and that's the biggest bunch of BS I ever heard! Bullpens have completely changed the game! |

It wasn't even close. Canha rocketed that thing and Hawk somehow missed the call. |

I wouldnt say he almost won, but not as much as an exaggeration as I thought. 1968 Batting Average s c a p y 1. Yastrzemski (BOS) .301 2. Cater (OAK) .290 3. Oliva (MIN) .289 4. Horton (DET) .285 5. Uhlaender (MIN) .283 6. Davalillo (2TM) .277 7. Buford (BAL) **.282 8. Campaneris (OAK) .276 9. Harrelson (BOS) .275 10. Howard (WSA) .274 |

Howard (WSA) .274 He had a great year, but to say you "almost won the Triple Crown", first I think you would have taken two of the categories and just missed on the other one. He was a top ten average guy, but he was 26 points back. And I think he was second or third in homers but about 10 behind Frank Howard. |

1968 Hawk: .275, 35 HR, 109 RBI 1968 Frank Howard: .274, 44 HR, 106 RBI Only one of these guys claims he "almost won the Triple Crown". |

Frank's OPS was probably .100 points higher since he knew not to swing at everything. |

It didn't occur to me until you posted that that both of those guys happen to be black Americans. I just think of them as good players who don't deserve to be in the Hall of Fame. |
