      @@GooseGumlizzard ​ The main reason there isn’t Baseball Bits type of content for hockey is that hockey statistics are so basic. Like the main analytic we have for the NHL is Corsi which just tracks the amount of shot attempts taken when a specific player is on the ice. There aren’t a lot of advanced hockey stats that tell you the little things a guy does or that you can spin to tell a story.

    Herb Pruett had success against Ruth that is almost unbelievable. From Robert Creamer's biography, The Babe,: "At this point Ruth had batted twelve times against Pruett and had struck out nine times, walked twice, and hit one measly tap to the mound." They met when Ruth was close to death and Pruett thanked Ruth for giving him enough of a baseball career to help him become a doctor: "I want to thank you for putting me through medical school. If it wasn't for you, no one would have ever heard of me." Ruth replied, "If I helped you get through medical school, I'm glad of it."

    • @rawbones4117
      @rawbones4117 Рік тому +6

      @@cbut_1727 exactly. That's what I'm getting at. He lost a significant chunk of time and both times when he returned he was still unbelievably good. So it's not a big "eh would he have still been good" he was exceptional his entire career.
      He lost a few prime years of production that would've absolutely put him up there next to Ruth and Bonds in terms of ridiculousness. Even then he's still I'm the top offensive players regardless, but with those seasons he could easily be #1 or #2.
      He still has highest career OBP and was the last player to hit above .400 for a season. So you gotta wonder if he would've topped a few other all time stats?
      It's genuinely crazy how often he got on base considering how little he struck out throughout his career. Foolish commented on that aspect in his video on Joey Votto some years ago, but it could be a video entirely. What would that even look like?

    I've been looking for the right one of your videos to introduce my Dad too. This feels like the right one because he grew up a Cardinals fan in the 40s and 50s. He was a big fan of Stan Musial, and we've been recently watching the Ken Burns Baseball documentary together and he's been annoyed that there hasn't been as much about the Cardinals as he would have liked. I think a suplement to the 1926 WS would be great, where the only thing they mentioned was Alexanders late game heroics while allegedly nursing a hangover and Babe Ruths failed stolen base.

    I have an idea for a video, and I think you'd be the perfect baseball creator to tackle it: One of the main counting stats of the current era of analytics is WAR, Wins Above Replacement. I've often wondered about the "replacement" part. Is it supposedly a mythical MLB ballplayer with exactly league average stats across the board, with average hitting, average defense, with a yearly WAR of 0.0? Okay, we accept that definition. Now, among ACTUAL players with a significant amount of innings played, plate appearances, or innings pitched, who most resembles that mythical "replacement" player (or pitcher)? I would think that that would be a different player every season, but have there been players who have been remarkably league-average every season? AKA, who is "Mr. Mediocrity"? I think that would be a lot of fun to discover. So instead of "Wins Above Replacement" we can then use "Wins Above Scott Brosius" or whomever. Whaddya think?

    Scott Podsednik also hit a World Series HR after going homerless in the regular season, but he had home runs in prior seasons, which Blanton and Mickey did not

    I believe Thevenow's the only player to have two different seasons of at least 400 ABs where he didn't record a homer or a stolen base. He received a few Hall of Fame votes in 1950.

    An inside the park home run from an outfielder injuring themselves tripping over a drain pipe may be the most 1920s baseball thing to ever happen.

      @@QuartzGolem Yes, he did. He came in as a defensive replacement in Game 1 and made 1 putout.
      Meanwhile, Babe Ruth hit for a 2.022 OPS as the Yankees swept the Cardinals in the rematch from two years prior. Needless to say, the Babe got his revenge against Thevenow and the Cardinals in general.
