Seriously, the funniest part is you don't realize how big of a ***** you come off as.   

How about you define what every word that quanties non-specifically means?  Here's a few;

Several
Many
A lot
Bunch
 

Do any of those mean "an average amount?"

OK.  How many walks did the "average" big league player draw?

The average big leaguer walks about 8.5% of the time.

Would you say that BJ Surhoff hit a lot of home runs in his career?

Does that equate to more or less than 1000 per career?

How big is the career, there, John Trollvolta?
2/13/2014 5:46 PM
Ah, hell, let's just cut to the chase.

116 players, in big league history, drew 1000 walks.

Do you not think 1000 walks is a lot when compared to the AVERAGE big league players' career totals?

A career lasts from their first BL appearance til their last BL appearance, Mr. Einstein.

How often were you dropped on your head as a child?  And as an adult?

Compared to the AVERAGE big league career totals, 1000 are a lot of walks. So are 999.   Legit questions....how many guys have played MLB?
