    Duke Snider, Willie Mays, Mickey Mantle, Andruw Jones, Curtis Granderson as only CFs to have back to back 40 homer seasons in MLB history? I'm pretty sure Ken Griffey Jr did it at least once right?

      @FoolishBaseball  4 роки тому +938

      You're correct! I thought I had put Griffey in there, but apparently I only had him on the .800 OPS / 2k hit list. The Kid went back-to-back in 1993-94, and also had five straight seasons from 1996-2000. I will pin this comment so everyone can see it.

    Of course they have the money but they have a history of getting the right people at the right time. Not just players: front office talent, management, scouts, development personnel. Just a smart organization that usually knows how to capitalize on its opportunities. Sure, they let Willie McGee get away - but how often has that happened?

    I'm 22 so I didnt see the 90s dynasty they had , so that 2009 championship is everything to me , but being a fan since a little kid I just want to say I love the Yankees because we know how to draft all time players , we got the next kid on the way Jasson Dominguez

      @FoolishBaseball  4 роки тому +1

      The shift is definitely interesting. I'd have to look its relationship with Ryan Howard further. There's still plenty of slow, pull-happy lefties in today's MLB.

    Babe Ruth is so weird to me. Look at him in the picture at 2:17 - his head looks photoshopped onto his body. Looking at other images of him, he doesn't look athletic AT ALL, but he OBVIOUSLY was. He played center field, but he's got the body of a history teacher!
    Sidenote: Joe DiMaggio's slide at 4:02 is atrocious! Lmao!
