NY Yankees 1B Luke Voit has just tied Mike Trout for the league lead in HR's with 16. Although I'm glad for Voit, I would like to see Trout lead the league in HR's just once. Even if it is for the shortened season. Another possible up and comer is Phillies rookie 6'5 3rd baseman Alec Bohm...

More Mike Trout. Trout becomes the fastest player ever to the 300 HR/200 Stolen Base club. Trout gets to those marks in 1,235 games. Breaking the record set by Willie Mays who hit those marks in 1,295 contests. Sadly, Trout probably won't be stealing many more bases in his career. Managers...

The greatness of Mike Trout is showing once again in the first 41 games of this shortened season. Although Trout has only played in 37 games. He is leading the league in runs scored 35, HR's 15, SLG% .676, OPS. 1.002 and IBB 4. His WAR total of 1.0 has not been up to snuff this season...

Trout is actually on pace for 65 home runs. He's only played in 37 games, because of the birth of his first child, a son. Nice analysis of what's become of this strange league called the MLB though. Again, I'm not watching any games, but I am keeping track of some of the games current and...

Yes. I was looking forward to Trout scoring his 1,000 career run this season as well, however that won't happen because of the 60 game schedule. He could get to 950 runs and stay ahead of Rickey Henderson's pace. Henderson had 940 runs scored after his age 28 season. Trout scored 4 runs...

Mike Trout career Homerun number 300. Despite missing, what amounts to a complete season, 162 games, due to injuries and of course the shortened 2020 season, he remains ahead of Hank Aaron and Barry Bonds Homerun pace. I know there's a long way to go, but I would love to see Trout at least...

Admittedly, I'm not watching any NBA so I may not know what I'm talking about. It's great what Doncic is doing, but comparing him to possibly the greatest all round player of all time may be a little pre mature. Magic Johnson said Larry Legend was the best. Bird made all the players around...

Don, I think Johnson is the first seed? He's first in Fedex Cup points. Rahm is second.

Houston Astros rookie OF Kyle Tucker hit his league leading 6th triple of the season and had three RBI giving him 26 RBI on the season. He also has 5 HR's and has stolen 4 bases and hasn't been caught. He probably could have more as he stole 30 bases in Triple A ball in one season. Can't have...

Great News! Thank you Don and to all the veteran posters who've stuck it out during these uncertain times we're living in. I have vowed to not watch any more sports so it will be difficult for me to post, however I occasionally watch MLB and some PGA. I will do my best to post about upcoming...

To all, especially Don, I am disappointed to say the least that this could be the end of Caste Football, although I'm not surprised. I believe if we're honest, most of us could see it coming. I am very thankful for Don's efforts to keep CF going as long as he has. I am also thankful for all...

It won't downgrade his career, however it will likely affect some of the all time records he could break. He was ahead of Ricky Hendersons' all time runs scored record, which would've been really difficult to break considering Henderson played for 25 years. Trout currently has 917 career runs...

I know I've told ya'll this before, but Clemson great and now NFL Safety, Tanner Muse was on one of those travel teams with my son. You can imagine how good that team was! In those days Muse was expected to play college baseball or even get drafted, but really blossomed as a football player.

Baseball has become a specialized sport. A big reason we don't see kids around the neighborhood is those that are dedicated enough to play are usually on some type of travel team where the parent may take their kid to the next county or even state to play for elite teams. I know, I hauled my own...

Trout, two more homeruns last night. Went 4-5, 4RBI, and 4 runs scored. He's now second in MLB with 7 HR's despite missing 4 games to be with his wife for the birth of his son.

Can't help but wonder how Trout missing about 90 games over the last three seasons due to injury and now missing 90+ more this season due to Covid-19 will affect how he goes as far as what could have been? He could still go down as the greatest ever, but his chance of having the best WAR ever...

Not that I'm watching any MLB, but just had to check on Mike Trout. He just hit his first HR of the year. 3 RBI.

Same here Westside. My MyPillow is great. I would suggest it to anyone.

Don, here in western NC there were some parties during the day and yes as the sun was setting fireworks going off all over our entire neighborhood. As I speak they are still going off. A lot applause and cheering!

To your point Flint, but going back a little farther. Mickey Mantle was offered a football scholarship to Oklahoma to play halfback, but baseball was his first love.

Great thread Shadowlight. If it's Ok, I would like to throw out Danny Ainge. Probably the greatest HS and maybe college athlete of all time. I know this is baseball/football. But would just like to remind everyone, if you didn't know that Ainge a two time NBA Champion, is the only athlete to be...

Two time PGA Tour winner Cameron Champ, 25 years old, is mixed. His grandfather is black and his father is biracial(black/white) mixed. He is also the second PGA Tour player to test positive for Covid-19.

Dustin Johnson wins the 2020 Travelers Championship. He now has won at least one tournament in 13 consecutive seasons. Palmer and Nicklaus went 17 consecutive seasons with a win.

Too bad Phil couldn't keep it going. However, a nice win for Dustin Johnson.

Thankful to hear from Shadowlight as well as others. Also, I remember Foobar75. He hasn't been seen since January 2015? Time and tide wait for no man. I'm guilty of not posting much as well. With MLB on hiatus, not much happening. I'm miss watching Mike Trout, Cody Bellinger, etc. Jack Lambert...
