Was looking at the Summary after my grid was complete and noticed they indicated Arizona had 76 hitters with a 300+ batting average. I thought no way they had that many in their less than 30 years of existence. So, I pulled up the list and they had utility players and even PITCHERS on that list who were nowhere close to qualifying for a batting title. Sloppy. Sorry for the late reply. But after reading your post I went and looked up Jarrod Parker of the D-backs. Parker was a local kid. He was a pitcher and has career batting average of .500(1-2) with Zona. The one hit was double.

5fouls Posted August 27, 2023 Report Share Posted August 27, 2023 (edited) 44 today. Vince Coleman with 15% for Cards ROY was only double digit score. Love getting HOFers with < 1% scores. Johnny Bench and Joe Medwick did that for me today. Best score was Jose Vidro at 0.1% for 200 hits and All Star.

5fouls Posted August 30, 2023 Report Share Posted August 30, 2023 I was immaculate today. But, with a large score. I had zero chance coming up with anyone other than the obvious for Astro .300 lifetime hitter. And, for Padres, after reviewing the list, I may have been able to get 1 or 2 others if I thought about it long enough. But, I caved and went obvious there as well. For .300 lifetime hitters, i normally choose guys from the 1920's and 1930's. But both those teams were 1960 decade expansion clubs. Well known players that are career .300 guys are few and far between. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5fouls Posted August 31, 2023 Report Share Posted August 31, 2023 I hate days when the Rays are on the grid. 45, could have been a lot less. I put Charlie Morton's name in last. The back of my mind was telling me Norm Charlton, but I was not 100% clear he played for the Braves. Of course, he did. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
