Here, I'll be kind enough to look it up for you - .410 in 2023 and .419 in 2024.

Nor did they ask for private boxes in contract negotiations.
And shouldn't any such comparison also be age adjusted? A professional athlete (especially in this day and age) should be in peak physical condition at the age of 26.

Certainly not! I might wax poetic about Honus Wagner, Ty Cobb, Stan Musial or Roberto Clemente, but only benighted Yankee fans would wax poetic about "The Big Baboon".

I won't call Juan Soto a thug. I will call him lazy, out-of-shape, over entitled and overrated though. And I wish he'd gotten his private suite at Yankee Stadium and stayed with the New York Yankees. I've been a Yankee hater since grade one and I'm always glad to add another reason!
