Stat of the day

[Andrew]

Call me crazy but I think Eddie O'Fallon's career has been underrated as well. I had him on the trade block a bunch of times and he didn't get much interest. Also didn't get much interest in FA the first time he was eligible. He was overshadowed by Keppel and Gremades in the DL. I probably should have bitched about it more when he was a Guide.

[Lintyfresh85]

Surprised Jorge Taracena isn't on that list.

[Jim]

I think that list shows just how shitty Gremades is. The guy really is a team cancer....look what he's done to Indy.

[Clay]

I liked that Stat. Was actually suprised by some of the people on the list and how tight it actually is on the top. Neil Hildebrand's career is really underrated.

[Ryan]

Anyone remember Shirt Tales?? Linty and Pat may be too young for that one.

[Pat]

Probably the best thing to come out of the '80s was the cartoons.

Linty you nailed it. Duck Tales, Rescue Rangers, GI Joes and Ninja Turtles.

[Lintyfresh85]

DUCK TALES A WOO WOO!

Anyone else watch the show religiously as a child? I know I did!

Also had the NES video game and I think a lunchbox or two.

Duck Tales and Chip and Dale: Rescue Rangers were probably my two favorite cartoons growing up.

[Pat]

Speaking of steals...

Whenever I think of the thievery behind the stolen base I think back on that Duck Tales episode when their butler became the baseball coach for Huey, Louie and Dewey's team. One of the three stole second and when told that he had stolen a base, the butler ran out to the field and scolded him and threw him on the bench. Hilarious.

Oh man. Nothing like a Duck Tales reference!

[Carlos]

Even more impressive than today's stat of the day, is the fact that no BLB'er was "born" on today's date.

[liquidcrash]

Agreed with the rest of you. Some of those teams actually won more games in the season they finished worse in the standings. I'm going to guess that Pittsburgh's 42 win dropoff is the league record though.

[Ryan]

I'd like it better if it was calculated on the drop in wins as opposed to position standings.

Agreed, this is kind of stupid.

Me three!
