The advanced metrics fellers went back and determined that the 5 best hitters of all time are:
1) Enos Cabell
2) Ted Williams
3) Joel Youngblood
4) Babe Ruth
5) Barry Bonds
I'm kinda surprised Bonds made the list tbh -

Shit, good memory; I just looked him up on wiki, and here it is:
Edited By: kellykip Aug 9th, 2012 at 09:20 PM
On August 4, 1982, Youngblood became the only player in history to get hits for two different teams in two different cities on the same day. After Youngblood had driven in two runs with a single in the third inning for the Mets in an afternoon game at Wrigley Field against the Chicago Cubs, he was replaced in center field by Mookie Wilson, and traded to the Montreal Expos for a player to be named later (On August 16, the Expos sent Tom Gorman to the Mets to complete the deal). Youngblood rushed to Philadelphia in order to be with his new team, and hit a seventh inning single. Interestingly, the two pitchers he hit safely against, Ferguson Jenkins of the Cubs and Steve Carlton of the Philadelphia Phillies, are both in the Baseball Hall of Fame
And here's the link!!! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joel_Youngblood -

lol ya not bad to get hits off 2 HOFers either. That was in the early days of ESPN. I imagine Sportscenter covered that pretty heavy. I also remember that being a trivial pursuit question that I snap answered and impressed everyone at the table with my vast knowledge.

He was good in 2010, pretty mediocre other than that year imo. I did think he was on the rise though, pretty disappointing.

Machado's first major league hit is a triple driven opposite field. He definitely has some pop.

I would think he would probably hit his innings limit before then. Guess we will see how he pitches as AA.Originally Posted by krs33

used to be Giants when they had Barry Lamar, but now it's close between the athletics and the o's for me. I guess the a's, i loved them when i was a kid and they had the bash bro's and rickey henderson. Plus I met rickey at a gas station in new york when he was on the mets. He's the fucking man, by the way. Said what up to me and everything.

So after going 2-4 with a triple in his major league debut, Machado is 2-3 with 2 hr's and 4 rbi's tonight. This kid might be alright....
