Name 3 players you would like to see get kicked out of mlb?
Cool Papa Bell,he played in the negro leagues.How much for Ripken collection?
I do not think a fast baseball player is possible. The game is way too slow (and boring) for someone to be fast.Have you ever switched allegiance from your favorite team to a better team at the time?
Rickey HendersonAre the Minnesota Twins stupid for building an open-air ballpark without a retractable dome?
I'm sure nobody here ever saw him play, but by all accounts Cool Papa Bell - a former Negro League star - is considered to be the fastest player of all time.Who thinks that Fernando Rodney sucks? because i do?
Cool Papa Bell, he was an All-star in the Negro leagues.Modern day, I think would be Ichiro (Spelled wrong, I know)
Have the Chicago Cubs ever swept the Chicago White Sox in a series?
Rickey HendersonWhy is it that you cannot cast vote for pitchers for the all-star game?
I'd have to say Henderson. He has the stats to prove it.Will i be good in travel baseball?
Ichiro, he is amazing. He has stolen something like 32 straight bases. He is near impossible to throw out and consistantly gets infield hits on typically routine groudn balls. He has amazing speed, I have seen him and Henderson in person and to my surprise Ichiro is faster. Also, watch how much groud he covers in the outfield, he is def the fastest player ever.Barry Bonds basic information?
As far as stolen bases, Ricky Henderson perfected that art form.Don't really see much speed in baseball anymore, unless it's it the kind taken in the clubhouse.
I'm a Tiger fan, so we don't have fast base stealers. We had Nook Logan, but like many fast runners, he couldn't hit and got sent to the Nationals.
Person that might ruin baseball?
Haven't you ever watched the movie "Soul of the Game" It's the Negro league movie about Jackie Robinson, Satchel Paige and Josh Gibson trying to break into the major leagues.. Lol I think in that movie it says Cool Papa Bell was so fast that he hit a ground ball up the middle the hit him in the head sliding head first into second.. lol It might have been the movie Cobb too.. I can't remember which...Why are the Pittsburgh Pirates, Cardinals, Phillies and Houston Astros all wearing number 42?
Herb Washington:Washington held world indoor track records in both the 50- and 60-yard dashes (5.0 and 5.8 seconds), but hadn't played baseball since his junior year in high school when A's owner Charlie Finley signed him as the club's designated pinch runner two weeks before the 1974 season. He appeared in 104 games in 1974-75, never batting, and he stole 30 bases, but was not nearly as good a base stealer as his speed would suggest. In the 1974 WS, Washington ran for Joe Rudi in the ninth inning of Game Two after Rudi's single had cut Oakland's deficit to 3-2, and was promptly picked off by Dodgers pitcher Mike Marshall. (SCL)
I'd say Cecil Fielder, Jim Thome, or Mo Vaughn. Fastest players to the feeding frenzy in the locker room after each game.
Lou Brock was pretty fast.
I'm lost...how do I get from Taconic Parkway to Yankee Stadium?
Cool "Papa" Bell. That guy would run over the ball he hit he was that fast!Should the Seattle Mariners fire their General Manager?
There may have been faster base stealers, but I don't think I've ever seen anyone faster hitting a triple (or inside the park homerun) than Willie McGee with the Cardinals.More Questions & Answers...
