Speaking of all time relative greatness, pedroia said he may never play again. His career stats look pretty good. Better than a few old timey slap hitting second basemen that might be in the Hall already, not that I'd have him join them. Still, he had a great career, and I won't miss him.

Can't stand ARod or Reggie Jackson. But I don't pretend they sucked at baseball.
You must be a Jeter fan. You know who's a good comp for Jeter? Lou Whitaker. ARod was more like Mickey Mantle or Stan Musial. I mean, fuck ARod, but, ignoring steroids and his personality, he was incredible.
Reggie was an obvious HOFer but nowhere near the top tier. He's right there with Jeter and, IMO, Lou Whitaker.Last edited by I've seen black diamonds!; 05-28-2019 at 10:55 AM.

yep...guy hated mountain bikers. Another trail got closed because he thought the mountain bikers were trashing a trail called Trail E that used to connect Rocky Canyon road to the Terraces trail when in fact it was the ATV'ers and whiskey tango mothafuckers leaving all sorts of trash up there.

Jim Thome had a higher career OBP than Gwynn, Carew, Brett, Ichiro, Rose, Molitor, Yount, Ripken, Yastremski and most other guys with 3000 hits.
And over 600 home runs. Too many K's to be a great hitter though. Should have grounded out more.

Regarding Buckner, if people thinks it's unfair to remember the guy for making the worst play with the worst consequences in the history of American sports (congrats Scott Norwood, "wide right" is merely a distant second) then we could remember him for being the only mediocre player to appear in more than 2500 games.
Check out the Top 100 in games played. Everyone on the list was a HOFer or a damn good player. Except Buckner.

People forget Stanley pitched like shit, couldn’t get that last strike, then threw a wild pitch to tie the game. Fuck him too. Then the Sox led in Game seven and still lost.
Since then, Boston has become Titletown so oh well.

Agreed. When I've seen him pitch, his stuff looked good, both fastball and slider. But his placement looks way the fuck off. Can't get his location figured out.

It's a pity to see a ballplayer get his career cut short like that. Especially one who obviously lives and breathes the game.
One day you're on top of the world, early 30s, still feeling like you're in your prime. Then some asshat spikes your knee or your ankle and your career is fucked. I guess that's life at the keystone and he can cry himself to sleep on his giant pile of money with his World Series rings, but I feel for Pedroia.

Jezuz, all careers come to an end, and he had a good, long one. 12-13 seasons, MVP, rings, multiple all star. If he saved his money, he'll be fine. Until dementia.

Jezuz, are you on drugs or something? Fuck off.

But is Pedroia good enough for Benny’s Hall of Almost Good and Related PED All-Stars?
Maybe a prized spot for his plaque next to Ted Williams’ frozen head, yet still not top billing behind the bar?I still call it The Jake.

You think bunting and stealing bases lead to more runs?
People strike out at higher rates today than ever before. Pitchers are also throwing way harder and much better at mixing up pitches. Hitters finally went away from the idiotic old time baseball practice of “swing down” and have started using slight upper cut swings. The league is more skilled than ever before.
All-stars from the 80s would be completely overwhelmed by today’s game.
Doesn’t mean it is more fun to watch though.
