Hi Jay,

Let's not fight. My source, since you weren't sure what it was, was www.baseball-reference.com, generally accurate but presumably more prone to error than SABR. Here Minoso is listed as having gone 0-for-2 for 1980. In any case, I think we agree he had 0 hits in the 80's, 1 in the 70's, and 3 in the 40's.

A decade IS any ten year period, and 1980 IS part of the eighties. Honestly. I don't know what your sources are, but the defintions of both "decade" and "eighties" can be verified in the Oxford English Dictionary, Webster's, or American Heitage.

Not that it's germane, but I certainly am lazy. I do not, however, believe that I am or ever have been "intelectually" bankrupt, or intellectually bankrupt for that matter (sorry, couldn't resist). Neither are the editors of any of the aforementioned dictionaries.
