You did not mention anything about this being National Leauge only (unless I missed something). My point was, how can you say Ricky Henderson is "not know" as a base stealer when he is the all time leader in stolen bases? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midway Hawker Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 Ok, I think I get it now.. When you said "he" I thought you were talking about Ricky Henderson, but I'm now guessing you were talking about the player that is the answer to your question. My bad.

anagramking Posted May 13, 2005 Author Share Posted May 13, 2005 Trout, I saw on this page that Eddie Collins (White Sox HOF second baseman) stole 6 bases twice in the 1910s, but it does not say whether they were nine inning games or not. A couple of guys stole 7 before 1900, so that's before the modern era, of course. http://baseball-almanac.com/recbooks/rb_stba.shtml This is a great website, and I've learned a lot of stuff there.

I almost didn't post the question about Gwynn but figured there must be a reason for seperating him from the other guys. I don't know the details on the game situations they were in. Hey I was wondering, can you tell me what the atmosphere at "wrigley field is like and also the old "county stadium" in Milwaukee? I seem to recall you mentioned them in the past before. They seem like a great place to see a baseball game. I have only been to "Dodger & Anahiem" stadium for games. troutman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They seem like a great place to see a baseball game. I have only been to "Dodger & Anahiem" stadium for games. troutman Wrigley is old school. There is very little in the way of advertisements, and the scoreboard is still manually operated. When the weather is nice, it's a great place to sit back and watch baseball, though the baseball that's played there often leaves little to be desired. A ticket at Wrigley can be especially hard to come by. Tickets for the upcoming Red Sox series start around $200 apiece, I've heard. There is an environment that has nothing to do with baseball (especially in the bleachers) at Wrigley. Some call Wrigley the world's largest open air tavern. But Wrigley is part of the history of baseball. My grandfather grew up going to games there. He saw Gabby Hartnett's Homer in the Gloamin' to beat the Pirates for the pennant on the last day of the season, back in the 30s. County Stadium, well that was so long ago, and I was just a kid when I went, though the baseball was always good there when I went. They had great teams 25 years ago. The tailgating scene was something of legend there (and they tell me it still thrives, tho less fans go today), but it might not be as legendary as the scene at Lambeau before Packer games. A bratwurst is the traditional food there, along with a Leinenkugel Red, though I'm not sure they serve that at Miller Park. Can't remeber if that beer is brewed by Miller or not. My mom went to games at County Stadium back in the late 50s, when the Braves played there, and they had great teams back then. I loved games at Dodger Stadium. Now that I got the MLB package on cable this summer, I get to hear Vin call the games when I stay up late enough. I miss that a lot. There will never be another announcer like Vin Scully. Enjoy it while it lasts, because he won't be there forever, though it seems like he will sometimes. I posted another question a few posts back. It's kind of hidden back there. I'm away this weekend, again, if I'm slow to respond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
