Not me. I just took a brief lunch-break at a sportsbar a couple of miles from here. Ordered a sandwich with the DiMaggio name attached to it. But, that doesn't matter since the whole thing will be in the toilet shortly. I did take the time to ask the bar girl if she thought they could sell more sandwiches if they used RHenderson's name on them, instead. She wasted no time answering no. She must be well-qualified to make such a concise and forthright answer. Normally, I would require verifiable proof that multiple labotomies have not been performed upon anyone, or someone, within this thread. It could be a more productive approach to finally end this one-sided RHenderson argument. Otherwise, the only other remedy might be some gasoline, & a match.

THAT eye can relate to... On the road, any bathroom can become my
temporary throne. If it wasn't 4 that, then 'peeking-in' on the latest hot
"Forum" thread, via my not-so-smart phone, would be impossible...

Eye ate something 2'day, @ a hot-dog place, in Rapid City... &, it did
have 2 names, "The Al & Bobby Unser Special"... Menu boards often
make such names in larger fonts than the 'ingredient' fonts... Hence,
if not 4 that, eye would not be qualified 2 post here, because eye just
would not be here (period) viewing this thread... From my throne...

Yes, we all know bad_luck has bad luck interpreting the simplest of
baseball numbers, even with the help of so many previous posters,
2 just flat-out simplify the formula's used here, & 2 also cease giving
credit & praise 2 dumb sportswriters 4 the smarts that are constantly
discovered in-between the ears of bad_luck, with each new waste of
argumentative drivel... He won't stop... He's addicted to what numbers
actually tell himself... Those numbers prove 2 him his self-worth in a
niche that he carves solely for himself... No biggie, but Ichiro probably
ain't interested in how to get into the HOF... Nor would Ichiro stand out
in play-off's where 12 MVP's must get their teams there, 2 begin with...

Nope, am of the mind that my time on this krapper, w/ a speak-&-type
app, --->>> instead reflects that stadium 'Dodger dogs', & 'Rapid City'
Unser dogs just travel @ different speeds thru-out humanity... Later,
most likely not sooner, bad_luck will have ingested enuff numbers 2
have some serious indigestion...  It should pass, & then he would be
dumb again, just like respectable sportswriters @ baseball games...

Really, bad-luck... Just get real here... The sportswriters have voted...

ha ha ha. and thank u for the reference. my girlfriend just hollered from her throne about this very issue in this thread. bringing defensive numbers into a hall of fame discussion would be alright if they shed some light on rickey hendersons inabilities to handle alot of games played on turf. despite his short career in toronto as an example where rickey was defeated consistently by knees that did not feel right after multiple games on turf. examining those real numbers and comparing them with how well ichiro suzuki plays defense on turf could be a subject here if defensive play was ever a criteria to enter the hall of fame. which it is not. the apologies for bad lucks muddied view of rickey henderson is not going to change things in this forum. he cannot be machine-gunned with a ton of artificial turf numbers when his defense is constantly nothing more than a rubber hollywood movie prop with espn bumper music which he brought to this gun fight. he gets what he deserves here from the massive amount of negative posts that pollute this thread. ichiro is an entirely different player and would not appreciate any part of a conversation or mathematical evidence that compared him and rickey henderson. the vote is over. ichiros votes are pending. bad luck is powerless here by his own loss of reality.

Brevity died at 8:45 last night.

That's all? A one sentence obituary? If I posted here that yesterday was the anniversary of Stevie Ray Vaughn's ill-fated plane crash that also took-out 3 of Eric Clapton's band members, everyone here would agree that even the hope of resurrection will never again produce another Stevie Ray blues song on that guitar. However, I sure wish that these inane RHenderson arguments had also been aboard that plane. Lots of years need to pass by, for my comfort. A debate is one thing, and at least we still have Eric Clapton still with us, producing a type of 'blues' that may soothe the frustrations of that other guy, bad_luck.

Yeah, I don't read posts as long as the ones that have been tossed around in here so I'd miss SVR's reference.  Two lines.  Sometimes three but that's it.

Very well. Love a thread with simple rules. However, why use a simple garden hose to flush out an out-house, when a fire-hose with ample pressure can do the job more efficiently? It's not a question seeking an answer, since he came here without a diaper. He still refuses to take the free toilet paper rolls handed to him by all in here, to clean-up his RHenderson mess. There's a way to discover an understanding. Always.

You don't think Henderson had a great year in 85?

Hmmm. Down to four lines now. Getting closer. As is Ichiro. Will leave this at one line.

Your arguments prior were not aligned to merely establish a simply "GREAT" year, in 1985.

OK. I'm asking you if you think Henderson ha a great year in 1985.

Could more than one player have a great year per season?

Anyways, that's not what the current argument is about.

Of course. Mattingly had a great year too. So did Brett.
