As a boy, I remember thinking Brooks Robinson was a great one.

He was like no other.

So much for Bochy playing the percentages. Lefties hit Detmers 60 points better than righties. Carter should be playing.

Just like last night, Carter will be in by the 4th or 5th

Yeah I watched that WS that put him on the map with me. PreRenger times.

Sad part of my childhood magic died today. Remember when WS were mostly day games

He really defined his position
And Stats best that out. RIP

Same here. When my dad was at the Pentagon we would go see the Washington Senators. They were horrible but I rooted for them. We came to Texas in April 1969. When the Rangers came rooted for the same miserable team. LOL! Would love a title.

The ‘69 Senators were actually pretty good. They won 86 games.

The whole narrative that Carter can’t hit lefties is complete nonsense. It’s true that he doesn’t hit them as well as righties, but he still put up very respectable numbers against lefties in the minors.

So at what point do we start letting him see what he can do vs. lefties? Next year? Or is he going to be relegated to platoon status for the foreseeable future? How do you know he can’t hit major league lefties unless you give him a chance?

We transferred to Hawaii from 1963-1967 and then Cape Cod from 67-69 then to Texas so I lost track of them. I was a Claude Osteen and Chuck Hinton fan. While in Hawaii the Cardinals beat the Yankees 4 games to 3 and in one of the games Ken Boyer hit a grand slam and Cards won that so during that time I rooted for the Cards. Had to listen on my transistor radio. But all that changed when the Senator's came to Texas.

I think he will get there and I am a big fan of his.
The moment is not too big. Do like Robbie getting to see pitches but yeah you are really rolling the dice on his defense

Loved Clemente. One of my all time favorite players.

We just have to make them go to a right-hander early.
