Former GATOR Players

I knew that Musial had a career number of triples similar to what all-time greats had a long time ago. He had 177 career triples. So I was going to call BS on the claim that he didn't hit one in his first season and I looked it up.

Stan Musial played 12 games his first season in The Show at age 20 with no triples and a 0.426 batting average. Then in 1942 he hit TEN triples in his true rookie season

 

Leave it to an anti-Cub to know the stats of a Cardinal.

So really we need to be comparing the number of games it took Alonso and Musial to hit their first triple.

 

Musial really was "The Man", but I have a very special warm feeling about how great Lou Brock was after he was no longer a Cub.

 

Alonso with a game tying jack in the top of the 9th today. Solo variety.

 

Is he ever gonna heat up?

 

He has actually cooled off in terms of average. Down to .280 on the year. Power is still pretty good, obviously.

 

So down to the Reggie Jackson area instead of Ted Williams or Lou Gehrig.

 

Pete went 2-4 with a 2-run bomb and 4 RBIs. The 2-run bomb occurred in the top of the 9th. Oh and it went 449 feet so the extra pushups seemed to have helped.

When I was a kid and the Twins came to Chicago I always showed up early enough to see Harmon Killebrew take BP. He could really put a hurt on a baseball.

 

saw him at then Tinker field in Orlando, he was the king of 'Home Run Derby'

 

Another jack for Alonso today.

 

Not a great start for Disco: 4IP, 4ER.
