Agreed, Jeremy Wariner received no athletic legacy from his parents. His father is a landscaper, his mother a paralegal with no athletic background, not even in high school.

Prayer and The Bible were removed from public schools in 1962/1963! Before 1963 pregnancies in girls 15-19 were no more than 15/1000, after 1963 it increase 187% over the next 15 years, In girls 10-14 pregnancies increased 553% since 1963. STD's increased 226% in the next 15 years after...

Freethinker, Davis has granted your wish. He'll finish as the MLB leader in HR's 53, RBI's 138 and Total Bases 370!

Anyone see this last night? I liked most of what I saw. Archie seemed like he had his priorities in order, a good family man. Did not know his father committed suicide. Great college footage of AM, ability to run, scramble, and throw with accuracy.

Correct WA33, RC started in the mid 80's through the 90's. One of the things that goes in your late 40's is memory. When I was 20 something I could have named almost any player on most rosters. Hey, could we be on to something here. The NFL has tried the black QB experiment before and it didn't...

Is this a trick question wa33? I won't be banned if I can name all 3 will I? Seriously, being one of the older guys on this forum and watching a big part of the NFL in the 70's and 80's, I think I can name 3 starters, but only 1 or 2 started at the same time. I watched more football in...

Bumgarner denied win 50 at 23 years old! It seems that Madison Bumgarner will not be allowed to try for his 50th career win this season, a mark that would put him ahead of some elite company! Bumgarner was to start this evening against the Dodgers, but Bochy has decided to apparently shut...

Yes Westside, the intelligent and disciplined player/coach, Peyton Manning!

Davis # 52 and I believe he's now tied with Cabrera in RBI's with 136!

Harper had a pretty good night, going 3-4, 3 RBI and got his 20th HR, while raising his average to a respectable .285. Let's hope he can finish strong and get ready for a monster year in 2014, without the interruption of another injury.

Wow! Trout 3 HR's in last 3 games! Now has 26 HR's/ 92 RBI's/ 185 hits/ 108 runs. .330 AVG. with 10 games to go. 30 HR/100 RBI/200 HITS/115 Runs/.330 AVG. would be really nice in just his second full season at age 21! I will do a Mike Trout/Ken Griffey Jr. stat comparison, the first 3...

Davis hit #51 tonight!

Good stuff, knightedsoldier5000. Thanks for posting. You seem to know baseball. I hope you will post more often. I really enjoy baseball stats and your posts as well. Thanks again!

6'3, 205 lb. Tampa Bay Ray OF Wil Myers may be a player to look out for in the future. In his 75th game of the season, Myers hit his 13th HR and knocked in his 49th RBI. He's currently hitting .298 with a .496 SLG% as a 22 year old. Although his BA isn't as high as the great Puig, he's at the...

Trout closed the gap on Cabrera a little last night going 2-5 and 3 RBI and his 24th HR. Trout .331 Cabrera 1-3 .349 12 games left, it's possible, but not probable as jaxvid mentioned, if Cabrera sits. If Cabrera sits now Trout would have to hit .500 over his next 12 games...

That's Mark van Eeghen. :biggrin: Sorry I'm a big 60's 70's and 80's white RB fan! Yes van Eeghen won a Super Bowl with the Raiders in 1976, while rushing for over 1,000 yards and averaging over 4 yards per carry!

Yes Westside, same problem here.

Just like last season when Watt and Matthews were the leaders in sacks. They are the only 2 great white defensive players in the entire U.S. Smith and Weddle are the only 2 great white DB's in the whole wide world.:crazy: Makes you wonder just how many great white defensive players are...

HR # 50! last night!

I agree wa33, overall Jordy is as good, although Johnson gets the edge because he's a little bigger, but not so sure he's stronger. I see so many black players that look like Tarzan, but are weak as well water. It's so weird especially down in the high school and college ranks. Some black...

Yes, thankfully my wife shows no interest in most athletics on TV, although she was a pretty good tennis player and I was a decent football/baseball player. She will watch some football with me, but said the only jersey she would ever wear would be mine.:biggrin:

Right jaxvid, he's on a 55 HR pace, if my calculations are correct. I'm hoping he gets hot again and can get close to 60!

After watching Peyton Mannings's 7 TD performance and all the talk here on black quarterbacks coming into the league. I got to reminiscing about the last time I seriously watched the NBA. That was back in the 80's when there a few prominent white all-stars still playing. Guys like Bird, McHale, Ainge...

Yes, somewhat, McGwire got on him pretty hard after the LG incident. I wouldn't call it a severe slump just yet, but his average has dipped 30 points over the last 2 weeks, from .376 to .346. I think he's like 12 for his last 54 over the last 14 games.

Good article on Douglas. Thanks TwentyTwo. I wish he would have went to another school or redshirt this year. It will be difficult for him to get playing time behind Gurley and Marshall. Did Karempelis walk-on? Did he have any offers out of high school?
