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?

Thumbs up

A fine player with a WARP3 of 91+. One of the very few Pennsylvania Dutch to play MLB. He was the first player to ever hit GSHR's in back-to-back games. Went to 4 world series with the Cubs. Ambarrassed himself in the 1906 series by going 0-21. In 1911 he set the NL record (since surpassed)for most walks in a season.

I'll vote yes, but with less enthusiasm than some posters above.

I get the sense his strength is sabermetric measures, but his career year-by-year seems a little undistinguished to me, even adjusting for the dead ball era.

Career totals meet minimum standards, and I'm not dismissing his sabermetric scores. But I'm just getting a kind of Paul O'Neill vibe...
