Fax? -- nm - Beaker Dec 31, 11:31
6 correct. - Will Hunting Dec 31, 11:28 1
- grrrrrrrrrrr -- nm - Trisha Dec 31, 11:41
Trammell? -- nm - zork Dec 31, 11:25 3
- I just checked and his numbers aren't very impressive. -- nm - Krusty Dec 31, 11:28 2
  - Until Ripken begat ARod, Nomar and Jeter, Trammell's #'s are top-tier of any SS in history. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 31, 11:30 1
    - You may be right and I didn't compare his numbers to other players. - Krusty Dec 31, 11:34
McGwire, really?!? The rest are deserving. -- nm - Krusty Dec 31, 11:20 1
- *growls* -- nm - David Dec 31, 11:20
YEAH!!! -- nm - David Dec 31, 11:18 13
- Yeah! It's time for number 11 to get the recognition he deserves for making a throwaway position into a key offensive strategy. - Trisha Dec 31, 11:34 2
  - Is Crash on cloud nine today? -- nm - David Dec 31, 11:35 1
    - Very much so. I've never seen him as agitated as he was during the 4th quarter. He was pacing like a lion, then screaming and hollering. - Trisha Dec 31, 11:40
- Raines is way overdue. Then again he should have known better than to be the second best basestealer of all time. -- nm - Reagen Dec 31, 11:19 9
  - The stolen base has been the most frequently dismissed stat in baseball and I have no idea why. -- nm - David Dec 31, 11:23 8
    - There ain't many good at it; and why risk running yourself out of a 3-run HR in the 90's/00's -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 31, 11:30 3
      - My thing has always been that if Dante Bichette can steal 30 in a season, other guys aren't trying hard enough. - David Dec 31, 11:34 2
        
        I think a lot of that is on managers, not the players. - the wrong element, bad guy Dec 31, 11:43 1
        
        Blame the smaller ballparks and the lack of quality pitching. - groiny Dec 31, 12:04
    - I think because so many players are bad at it. But during his prime, there was no such thing as a single for Raines. -- nm - Reagen Dec 31, 11:26 3
      - I'll never forget the time that fat Rick Mahler threw over to 1B 21 times in the same inning when he was on first. - David Dec 31, 11:31 2
        
        That's hysterical. -- nm - Krusty Dec 31, 11:38 1
        
        I totally believe that Mahler was just trolling for boos on the last few throws over. -- nm - David Dec 31, 11:42
