Do not remind me I thought I put that out of my mind.

He played so so well (when healthy) during the regular season and then he went on vacation in the playoffs.

As a Yankee fan, that warms my heart.....and his brother Ben is a friend of mine! :)

How is Aaron Judge's post season hitting?

with the dome open or closed?

As a Giants fan, I sure love seeing those Verlander 2012 WS stats!!

My favorite modern player, sure shot HOFer, has been to 4 postseasons and is 5 for 33 = .152 ave with 1 dinger.

This year was 1 for 8 :(

You are better than this! Hopefully time will turn this around


Oh, and lets see some cards

Very surprised
 

This one was a complete surprise to me. I had no idea.

In some ways, this is a double dip because you’ve got a quasi-zero who delivered in the WS against a HOFer who was a WS zero…

Williams played hurt.

"1946 World Series. The Red Sox played a seven-game Series against the St. Louis Cardinals. The Red Sox had finished so far ahead of everyone else that they coasted near the end, several players taking off substantial periods of time. The Cardinals had to play two extra games, winning both games of a best-of-three playoff against the Brooklyn Dodgers. While trying to keep in shape, the Red Sox brought in some other American Leaguers and had sort of a mock game during which Williams was hit on the elbow and seriously hurt. He wasn’t able to perform up to par, and that may well have cost the Red Sox the hard-fought World Series. He never had another chance to play in a World Series."

Even though he was hurt, Ted was absolutely crushed that he performed so poorly.

You can say what you want about his antagonistic relationship with the Boston media-and I certainly think a lot of it was deserved. But Teddy Ballgame never made any excuses. He felt he let the team down. The Red Sox wouldn't have sniffed that lone World Series without him.

When he had a subpar 1959 due to neck issues, he refused a raise to come back for the '60 season, accepting a one year deal for what he was paid in '59. He refused to go out on a down note, came back, and absolutely destroyed the baseball. At age 41, he hit .316, and slammed 29 home runs in 310 AB. He OPS'd .1.096, good for a 190 OPS+.

I'll always wonder what Ted would have done if he'd come back for the 1961 campaign, with two new teams in the AL. He hit .388 in 1957, and if he was healthy, with that watered down pitching, and only playing about 100 games, I wonder if he could have approached .400 again.

Of course, then he'd have to go deep in his final at bat again. ;)

Dodgers

This gets my vote for post of the Year. Hahahaha...
