OT: MLB Thread 2025

Hey, he's the youngest to ever hit 3 HRs in a game & I must encourage Yankees fans. I feel sorry for them because they're not Mets fans. ;)
LOL that is funny. The Yanks have won so many rings in my life that I got bored with winning. Many posters on this board weren't even alive for the Mets 2 world series wins.

This is subjective. Since 1947 these are my favorite players.

Parker obviously had a great career. I'm surprised he got in the HoF. He's a slugging OFer who has 339 HRs. Additionally, players who are 525th+ in bWAR don't usually get in the HoF as you can see above.

I thought Dave deserved it. Hit for power, hit for average, had a great arm. I don't like when guys have to wait till their 70s to get in.
 
PCA is a really dangerous hitter, but he swings at absolutely everything. It will be interesting to see who makes the final adjustments there--the pitchers or PCA.
 
Dave Parker is probably my all time favorite non-met. 1970s pittsburgh teams were my non-local teams.
I respected him. Came back after drug stuff and also seemed to lose power for a bit. Really seemed to rebuild his career in Cincy after it seemed to be ending.
 
what the mets have done with arms like manaea, severino, canning, etc. is something that pitchers around the league are going to notice. rehabilitating these guys and spitting out production at the big league level
