Answers:
MLB Baseball podcasting (games on free-internet)?
Considering that an average player becomes a superstar just by playing in New York i would say pick a Yankee. Thanks ESPN for your lol balanced coverageWhat is an appropriate age to buy your son a real baseball glove?
Easy, Barry Bonds.Going straight to the top of baseball's most exclusive record (career home runs) by cheating, juicing, ingesting and injecting.
Where do pitchers go before an MLB Game during Batting Practice?
Alex RodriguezI hate the man, and even now that the Yankees have been losing, they still find ways to rant and rave about him.
What's the chance of Soria becomming the Royals' closer?
I agree Bonds is an overrated player due. The sad part, that before he started to juice, he was an amazing player. He might have not broken any HR records, but he was a hall of famer caliber player.A very close second, Ken Griffey Jr. Always injured
I want that shirt SO bad... =[?
Sandy Alomar, Jr.Wins the 1990 NL ROY in a weak field, and his rep was secured. Played on the great Indians teams of the 1990s. Good enough catcher defensively, but as a hitter he only had one season of note (1997), and... and... and that's it, really. One award and one good season and yet he hung on for 19 years.
Do you think Yankees are going to win tonight.?
Have to say David Ortiz, for someone who is over 30 has under 300 Homeruns under 800 RBI bats 283, and can't field to save a kitten falling out of a tree and yet people think he's a god sent give me someone like A-Rod or Manny (ok Manny can't field but at least he tries) any day of the week.Why do some people say Mark McGwire took steroids but Barry Bonds didnt take them?
I think, by far, it's Nolan Ryan.CBS sportsline did an 'all-time' poll and while there was some questionable cheating by a few people, Nolan Ryan beat out, head to head, against guys like Walter Johnson, Christy Mathewson, Roger Clemens, Cy Young, etc.
Yes, he had 7 no-hitters, he had 5700+ strikeouts. But he also had 2800 walks or so, including 200 or more in a number of seasons.
a 2:1 strikeout to walk ratio is horrible.
His lifetime winning % was just barely over .500. he is one of only 3 (I think) pitchers to lose 300 games. While Cy Young also did it, he had, oh, about 200 more victories.
Ryan won 20 games twice, the same # Ed Walsh won in a single season (he won 40 for the Cubs). He never won the Cy Young either.
Definitely didn't deserve to be the #1 right handed pitcher.
Sure, give him HOF status based on 26 years in the bigs, 300 wins (which is less than 12 per year) and those K's and no-hitters (the 2nd most is 4)
But, definitely most overated.
Are there any 2007 baseball cards featuring new Red Sox pitcher Daisuke Matsuzaka?
Craig Biggio no doubt about it..Barry Bonds!!
What is the longest two pitchers on opposite teams have both carried a no hitter?
Currently a tie between Carlos Beltran and Jose Reyes.Reyes has a career batting average and on base percentage under .300, but he is "exciting" on the bases. Just does not get there enough.
And Beltran has had one good postseason, and one good, one decent regular season. But to listen to people talk, they would be league MVP's every year.
All time - Carlton Fisk. Jerk
How many runs will Justin Verlander give up today?
Derek Jeter he only makes a good play like once every month..his hitting isnt great eitherHow Do I get season tickets for Boston Red Sox games?
As of today Barry Zito.Ozzie Smith of the Cardinals. Yes he was great defensively but his bat was harmless.
28 lifetime home runs in 19 seasons.
Never had over 75 rbi's in 19 seasons.
.262 life time batting average.
Is anyone else tired of people asking stupid Yankee questions?
Barry Bonds. he would be an average player without the steroids.More Questions & Answers...
