Who you got ahead of him?

Career .338 hitter and check out his 800 walks to his 400 k's ... That's unbelievable.

I loved Gwynn, but Bonds and Ted Williams off the top of my head.

Well, if you're conceding two off the top of your head with no argument, I think we're done.

I believe Eddie Gaedel got on base in every plate appearance in his career.

I've been trying to quit for XX years now. Started in 3rd grade...(I'm from Fox Lake, it's what we do). Switched to cigs in college. quit when I got bone cancer, started up again after chemo...quit when I was trying to get wife #1 pregnant, started again when she told me she wanted a divorce, quit cigs when I met Rachel...started chewing again. That pretty much covers 1984 - present.

Wow. 3rd grade???

I've never tried it.

Okay, dude was a beast and missed 3 years in his prime from the war... clearly a Bad MF ...but he retired in 60' ...he never even played against Blacks or Asians... I bet most of the guys he was playing against had jobs in the offseason at steel mills and railroads.

Tried it once, I still can't believe people use it. But I'd guess that half the people that drink beer said the same thing after beer #1.
