I've been going to games since August 8, 1973....and on August 22, 2004, finally, a foul ball came my way. I had to reach for it, and it deflected off the tip of my right index finger. Shoot, if I was only 4 inches taller!

Have you read The Baseball Same Game?

Never liked him.

But, can't argue with 479 RCAA.

For a guy who seemed injury plagued Molitor appeared in almost 2700 games (28th most all-time). His OPS+of 122 and a WARP3 of 133+ are sure-fire indications of his hitting prowess.

Did anyone ever actually call him "The Igniter" without immediately explaining that that was the nickname for "Paul Monitor?"

Considering where he played, NO nickname was going to catch on. More than ten people need to hear it.
