One of the greatest players of all time ...
that is, if the object was to help your team lose. Worst RCAA since 1900-- Code:

I realized there was a fatal flaw to my decision to redefine memorable to be able to remember. That transfers the standard from the player, who were supposed to be evaluating, to me. Who cares what I think? That's a stupid standard. I don't even care what I think or remember or whatever. I only care what the data says. If the data says something and I think or remember something else, then I will take the data over me 100% of the time. So, I need a new definition of memorable. Then I realized that the correct definition wasn't able to remember, but rather the player was able to memor. The problem there is the dictionary is flawed. They don't have a definition for memor. At least dictionary.com doesn't. I haven't checked anything else. So, I just have to come up with a definition for memor. I haven't done so yet, but RCAA's got to have something to do with it.

Is Neifi on a MLB roster this year? I'd sure like to see him be the best at something.
If he's not, Royce is going to gain ground on him.

Bowa was an absolutely dreadfull offensive player in an era of bad offense. Magnificent glove, but not that magnificent.
