@OleTimeHardball Edgar Martinez. Duh. Players from other eras could only theoretically be better. But he proved he could do it with an ops of 700 with 20 pa.
@OleTimeHardball Bonds. The greatest ever. Faced juiced pitchers so his juicing is a wash. Lots of other hitters were juicing in his era, and he was still better. And who says Rose never took any drugs? Drugs of some sort have long been a part of baseball but gambling has always been illegal.
@RabbiWolpe We also have hockey, which is the better iteration of soccer: faster, more athletic, more intense, and more strategic. Soccer dominates only where the big four don’t exist. And the rabbi is correct: why make able-bodied athletes pretend their arms don’t work?
@BBGreatMoments There is only one answer: Ty Cobb. Question asks who you’d watch one more time. Whether that’s one plate appearance or an entire game, you’d have to pick the guy most likely to get a hit, and with a 366 lifetime AVG the choice has to be Cobb. Bonds is too likely to K or BB.
@ErelSegal That ethics rule is poorly reasoned and should be abandoned. So a non doctor might opine, for instance, that Biden had symptoms of dementia, but a neurologist could not?
@wil_da_beast630 By creating a weapon for politicians sworn to commit genocide, they have foregone any protections their academic degree may have offered. Imagine a virologist creating a weaponized virus for a government who said they would use it; would they not be a legal target?
@jpodhoretz Why would you take the time read his sophomoric drivel? My nine-year-old is more articulate about Israel than he has ever been. JP, your time is too valuable to waste on someone so irrelevant, yimakh shemo.
@HilzFuld The first leader of the Palestine Symphony was an artist named Arturo Toscanini. Does that count? Oh, sorry. He was Italian. But the orchestra was founded by a violinist named Huberman. Sorry again- he was a Jew.
