Position players? I am a fan of Cobb in 1911. To add a couple other options... Babe Ruth 1927- .356 BA, 60 HR, 164 RBI, 1.258 OPS Mark McGwire 1998- 70 HRs, .470 OBP (of course the 28 intentional walks did not hurt), 1.222 OPS Lou Gehrig 1927- .373 BA, 52 doubles, 47 HR, 175 RBI Jimmie Foxx 1932- .364 BA, 58 HR, 169 RBI, 1.218 OPS
Yeah Ribs kill. Every time you breathe you are in pain. So just imagine if your breathing heavily. Then imagine breathing heavily after taking a big hit. Vick might have to handle this offense for more than just a few weeks.
You can't be basing this on stats alone. It's all about intangibles. Billups quarterbacked the team offensively and defensively always making sure the guys were in the right position. Certainly you saw the change in attitude these Denver Nuggets played with compared to the Iverson Nuggets. They care more with Billups and they all worked harder. It's the same thing in Philly. The Sixers were terrible before they got Andre Miller for Iverson. Iverson's numbers certainly own Andre Miller's but it's all about the intangibles you bring. Andre Miller brought a new attitude to that team and played a team game getting everyone involved. The team play(because let's face it Iverson is a black hole on offense) improves immensley without Iverson. And please don't show me some lame APG stat, because if that's how you judge point guards setting up their teammates then you are indeed wrong.
I just hate the people who know they are bigger than you and are cocky about it. They seem to follow you on every machine but always raising the weight making you seem like an idiot.
