KIngman was who I thought of. He was in that sort of range several times.

All I know is that I would pay to see him in batting practice.

These days, everyone can hit home runs, but not like he does.

It would be interesting to know (and it can be calculated) how many runs he is giving up for his team by striking out with a man on third and less than two out. Obviously, putting the ball in play--especially to the outfield, as Nolan Arenado did yesterday against the Brewers to tie the game (at least for the moment)--carries considerable value. IMHO, such missed opportunities equating to runs lost for one's team should be calculated and weighed in with the other modern sabermetric stats.

Interesting responses,

Larry

No Josh, it was Jerry Gallo who died, Jerry Callo is trying cases in rural Alabama, home of the Sac Of Suds, where they have an original Mona Lisa
