One of the measures mentioned in this thread is "If you had one game to win, like a Game 7, who do you want?" I have often thought that the single guy I DO NOT want on my team, for a big game, would be Chase. I wouldn't want him within 20 miles of the ballpark. The bigger the game, the more lucrative it might be for Chase to throw.
So, there are some who call Chase the best first baseman of his day, while I'll call him the worst with Gandil not far behind.

Mark, walk me through this one. Interested to learn but didn’t follow solely based on a lack of knowledge on my part. Jim
