@SteveGelbs I know Francisco Alvarez has been a "disappointment" versus the projections, but I still really like the kid. And, fun fact, he is basically the same age this year as Polar Bear was his rookie year; not saying he will ever match Pete's production, but remember he is still young.
@fantasymemories@StanTheFan that's right, but very often only stats beginning in 1900 are considered. Lajoie led the NL in 1898...not sure that makes a difference. On the other hand, things like Cy Young's 511 victories include those from before 1900...so who knows!
@CLE_RichSports so in the unlikely event Jose leaves the Guardians, the list goes back to three...
I'll go with Jeter. Gwynn. and I was going to say Mays, but now don't have a #3.
@CLE_RichSports Pretty sure Pedro did it during that amazing year. Thought maybe Maddux, but he was never a big strike out guy. Ryan too wild. So, I'll try
1. Pedro
2. Lefty Grove
3. Walter Johnson
2 and 3 pure guesses.
@CLE_RichSports I'll try:
Ted Klu (no idea how to spell his last name)
Johnny Mize
Lou Gehrig
Joe DiMaggio
(pretty confident of those four)
Yogi Berra
Wild guess (probably wrong because I don't think he ever hit 40)
