Here's an amazing stat of Ted's that some people don't know. He holds the record for consecutive games reaching base by walk, hit or hit by pitch at 84 games. Every game, 84 straight games, Ted reached base. To me, that's incredible.

I'll take Ted all day long.

84= Moneyball's version of 56. Surprising that doesn't get more play the way stats are evolving.

... I just hope the sabermetricians don't become so powerful that we replace all the old goodies like 61, 257, 190 (or 73, 262, 191), with new magic numbers like 14 (Babe Ruth's hallowed all time single season WAR record).

84 straight is an amazing stat though!!

Default Ted, more fun facts...

If I recall correctly, Ted at age 39 hit 38 Hr`s and 388 to win his 5`th batting title. As hard that is to fathom that`s just 5 or 6 hits away from hitting .400 at age 39 !! For an encore, the next season at 40 he hits .328 for his 6`th and final batting title. What can you say.....................WOW

Teddy Ballgame! If he had been a Yankee he would be right there with the Babe in popularity.

Others have documented his statistics clearly enough. To me he is the best hitter the game has ever seen.

Yeah, I never heard that Ted was a bad teammate, just didn't like the press or the fans. Actually, from what I've read and heard stories about, seems like Ted was a better teammate than Joe.
