(*Incidentally that was Babe Ruth's epic 1927 Season when he hit .356, 60HR, 165RBI. Yes. He was that good.).

Funny, when I looked it up, I came up with:

Okay I've got to jump on this Griffey thing only because you included Stan Musial in the discussion. For a 162 game average over their careers (BTW, they both played 22 seasons): Average Musial - .331 Griffey - .284 On Base Percentage Musial - .417 Griffey - .370 Slugging Musial - .559 Griffey - .5...

Re: 2014 Baseball Thread

Was Griffey healthy in 1993 when the Mariners finished last? First of all, they didn't finish last. There were 7 teams in that division, they finished 4th with a record above .500. Or in 1998 and 1999 when the Mariners finished near last? They finished in 3rd place, despite team ERAs of 4.93 and 5....

Re: 2014 Baseball Thread

And what happened to a 2nd place Reds team when Griffey showed up? Down to 5th place after 1 season. Then 3rd place. Then 5th. Then 4th. Then 3rd. Then 5th. Then 5th. Lots of time in the cellar. That a coincidence too? Not a coincidence at all. That 2nd place finish, that was his one healthy season...

Re: 2014 Baseball Thread

First, I will concede 1994 as a "great season" for Griffey. I hadn't taken into account the strike. Also, I have said that Griffey was a very good player. D*mn good. But not great - he had many (7) great seasons. But his career, when viewed in it's entirety was just very good. He was a co...

Re: 2014 Baseball Thread

He had 6 great seasons. I have always said that. 6 great seasons. Will never take that away from him. Maybe 10 mediocre. 5 that were pretty darn horrible. So, since Griffey only had 6 “great” seasons, I’m going to assume that those seasons were 1991, 1993, 1996, 1997, 1998, and 1999. That would put...
