southsider2k5 Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 QUOTE(sox-r-us @ Apr 19, 2005 -> 01:10 PM) All players (especially when young) look at stats. That does not make them selfish. WHen you have the talent to have the gaudy stats like Thomas does, it can only help the team win. What he can do, only a few others can around baseball. While you need role players to win, you cannot win without talent. I guess Babe Ruth was selfish too since he called his own HR at Wrigley. Again, you are wrong. Wow, did you even read any of that? What part of... Thomas did acknowledge being selfish early in his career Is so difficult to understand??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JUGGERNAUT Posted April 20, 2005 Share Posted April 20, 2005 How great was the Babe? Total Bases (career high, career avg): 01-Gehrig 447 high, 379 avg 02-Babe 457 high, 357 avg 03-Foxx 438 high, 347 avg 04-Williams 368, 345 avg 05-Aaron 400 high, 337 avg 06-Griffey 393 high, 335 avg 07-Sosa 425 high, 331 avg 08-Bonds 411 high, 331 avg 09-Musial 429 high, 328 avg 10-Mays 382 high, 328 avg 11-Thomas 364 high, 327 avg 12-Bagwell 363 high, 320 avg McGuire 380 high, 315 avg Canseco 347 high, 312 avg Palmeiro 356 high, 311 avg Robinson 383 high, 310 avg Mantle 376 high, 304 avg Banks 379 high, 302 avg Ott 346 high, 299 avg Schmidt 342 high, 297 avg Matthews 363 high, 295 avg Dawson 353 high, 295 avg McGriff 306 high, 294 avg Murray 322 high, 289 avg Stargell 337 high, 288 avg Winfield 333 high, 284 avg Jackson 334 high, 278 avg Killebrew 328 high, 276 avg Yaz 360 high, 271 avg Kingman 326 high, 266 avg McCovey 322 high, 264 avg Thomas currently ranks 31st on all-time HR list. Amongst the list of 31 he ranks 11th in career avg TB. He should move up to 27th on the all-time HR list this year. Sneaking up on the HOFer Dave Winfield. Winfield is the barometer for both Frank & Bagwell. career avg: Thomas .308A .429O .567S (15 seasons) Bagwell .297A .408O .542S (14 seasons) Winfield .283A .353O .475S (22 seasons) career high: Bagwell .368A .454O .750S Thomas .353A .487O .729S Winfield .340A .398O .560S Because Winfield is HOFer it's going to be very difficult for them to keep either Bagwell or Thomas out & not take a big hit in the HOF's credibility. They both have good odds to finish in the top 20 HR all-time list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
