:stop:I can't believe that there is not one thread dedicated to the Red Sox. After all the New Englanders that came to Christ in 2004 and with Red Sox fans being the most avid prayers. This is just a travesty. This is the Christian dating site, right? Where are the believers man!!!:rocknroll:
The some of the greatest hall of fame baseball players in the world has come from Tampa Fl.
Humm, lets see, can you name your very own past boston player from Tampa?. Of course he was elected to the Red Sox Hall of Fame in 2004 and the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2005. huimmm, got any ideas. With 12 straight All-Star appearances, third in history only to Brooks Robinson and George Brett in number of consecutive appearances as a third baseman. His finest season was 1987 when he set career highs in HR(24), RBI(89), and slugging percentage(.588). Also in that season he batted .363 and held a .461 OBP, both stats leading the league. In 1999, he ranked number 95 on The Sporting News list of the 100 Greatest Baseball Players, and was a nominee for the Major League Baseball All-Century Team.
lol.:ROFL:he was very superstitious,,, he always ate chicken before every game. Hits 3,010,,, totally wow. He also batted .349 in his rookie year which would have won the batting title, but was 121 plate appearances short of the required minimum of 502. From 1982 to 1988, hit below .349 only once, From 1983 to 1989, rattled off seven consecutive seasons in which he collected 200 or more hits, an American League record for consecutive 200-hit seasons
