Regarding the best ever convo:

Willie Mays
Pete Rose
Babe Ruth

 

[Matrix]

Ted Williams is the GOAT.

 

[Tommy Bedlam]

Ted Williams is the GOAT.

He would be my number 4.

 

[Grimoire Lenin]

Damn no respect for Ricky Henderson

 

[Tommy Bedlam]

Ricky’s by far the best base runner of all time.

 

[Matrix]

He would be my number 4.

I wish we knew what his numbers would be if he didn't miss time to fight in the war. Man had hitting down to a science. That's a big reason I think he was the GOAT.

 

[Grimoire Lenin]

Ricky’s by far the best base runner of all time.

Yeah when you hold the MLB record for most bases stolen by a country mile (50% more than the 2nd place person) and 2nd most walks all-time, you're an absolute monster at the plate on on the bases.

The stories of Rickey Henderson are also just incredible because they're just like the Ichiro stories, a complete microcosm of an enigmatic personality.

 

[Storm Trooper]

Here's a top 3 list that is fair.... Pete Rose, Barry Bongs, Roger Clemens. Sadly none are in the Hall of Fame.

At first I laughed. Then, I thought how pitiful this is.

 

[THEDEVILHIMSELF]

Ted Williams is the GOAT.

I feel the same about Ty Cobb some as well, guy gets no love from anyone yet he was Ted Willams before Ted Williams

 

[Hidden Blaze]

At first I laughed. Then, I thought how pitiful this is.

I never even played in my life, and I could’ve done better than that..

GET FUCKED METS

Errors don't hurt me in fantasy. So sure. but this means Nimmo and Alvarez can get hits/bases/runs now so can we allow that please? I need fantasy points. Let the Braves win still.
