It looks like more than 420 in the films/replays. Willie's my all-time fav.

I watched an Indians-Senators doubleheader the following summer, 1955, at Griffith Stadium and when they were still pretty much intact. After the game, I ran out onto the field and grabbed the rosin bag, but didn't keep it very long. In 1954 the Indians went 111-43 and had the highest winning percentage in AL history. But got killed by the Giants in the WS, 4 games to none.

A Realistic View of the 2025 Red Sox: Part II
Maxbialystock replied to moonslav59's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
The Sox going 4-5, 6 of them on the road, against the NL's three division leaders tells me that Breslow won't be a seller next week, but can avoid being a buyer who overpays. -
Sure was. Also a spellbinder of a game. Watching Buehler tonight was like watching the perils of Pauline. Then Chapman south like he was jumping off a cliff. Both times Cora changed pitchers just in time.
-
Duran, Rafaela, and Story have the three most total bases--187, 160, and 158--on the team. Story now leads tjhe Sox in rbi's with 61.
-
I honestly don't like Cora making Rafaela play 2b, but I understand why (get more lefty bats in the lineup) and agree completely with your point. Rafaela and Narvaez have the two highest WAR's, 4.0 and 3.2, on the team because both are terrific on defense and can hit.
-
Sure looked that way to me. Unbelievably alert.
-
Terrific win. Sox finish the three NL Division leaders gauntlet at 4-5. Terrific bullpen, smart managing, timely hitting, and solid defense.
-
The Sox team Ortiz joined in 2003 already had some pretty good hitters.
-
Of course he was lucky. But in his 3 other starts in July he went 7 IP vs the Phillies and gave up 1 ER, 6 vs the Rays giving up 3 ER's, and 5 vs the Nats giving up 2 ER's. That's not bad for a #4 starter even though he was awful and awfully lucky today.
-
Could have been a lot worse with those 5 BB's, 4 hits, and the dinger. He had horrible control, but did not put the Dodgers out of reach.
-
Ah, yes. What fond memories of ERod.
-
Toro ran to 1b in part because Buehler was slow to get there.
-
4 walks in 3 IP by Buehler. Lucky to have given up just 1 run.
-
Buehler is perfectly balanced so far--25 strikes and 25 balls.
-
Abreu has an excellent launch angle but horrible contact with the ball. He's swinging for the fences every single time.
-
Duran stunk on the error, but it didn't cost a run thanks to Narvaez weak grounder for 3d out. Nice sac fly by Story.
-
If he can get 3.3 more for the rest of the season, he's at 8, which is pretty darn good. Last year Sale won the NL Cy Young with a WAR of 6.2.
-
He's a lefty bat with half his games at Fenway with its deep RF. His OPS this month is .900 and would likely be a lot lower if the tinkered with his swing to get more dingers.
-
A little low. His is 5th highest in MLB.
-
I give the edge to the Sox because Buehler seems to be coming back and because May's ERA in away games is 7.00 Last night was a terrific win. Duran in CF, Anthony in LF, and Abreu in RF vs righty May. Rafaela @ 2b, Yoshida DH, Toro 1b. 5 lefty bats and 4 righty bats.
-
Great stuff. Thanks.
-
I don't believe in "it's best if they lose."
-
I know. I am hard pressed to think of another sport, mens or womens, in which either gender routinely wears gold necklaces.
