Ohtani will become the 12th. Judge is 32 and Harper is 31.

I don't understand any avoidance of the modern game. Right now, you have the opportunity to watch a sport with some of the most dominant players you will see in your lifetime all active at the same time and in their primes. Even if Trout is oft injured, he's still just 33 years old.
I don't love the pitching by committee, but agree there are some amazing players and it's still baseball, is there an alternative?

That is annoying but so is the lack of stealing bases, the bunt, the hit and run is almost not part of the game and everyone is going yard each AB. I am not as much of fan of the game as I was.

Can you think of some great hit and run players from the past that you admire?

19 guys with 30 or more steals. How far down is that relative to past years?

With roots in NY and LA my frame of reference are the Dodgers, primarily. The team has gone through a transition in the way they approach the game. They are not alone but there is much less finesse baseball on offense.

Ah I see. Well, it's certainly not the team of Maury Wills, the Davises, and Koufax/Drysdale, I will grant you that. Still, you have Shohei and his 50 steals, and Betts runs a little.

That is 2024 team. Hit and Run, bunting, stealing bases was the way they played ball. Now you have guys batting 1-9 trying to put the ball over the fence virtually every AB. Again I am speaking about a change in the trend. The game has changed which is fine. Nothing stays the same. I am simply saying I was more of a fan of the game the way it used to be played.

On my favorite team I very much admired Tim Foli for his ability to do it.

Nellie Fox, who also didn't strike out more than 15 times a season, for one.
