Babe who?
Reading isn't good for a ballplayer. Not good for his eyes. If my eyes went bad even a little bit I couldn't hit home runs. So I gave up reading.

Yeah in my latest THT article I looked at fWAR per PA..
for all players before their 22nd birthday who had accumulated at least 9 fWAR. And Trout beat everyone but Shoeless Joe Jackson

I didn't know, and I had used fWAR so it was different.
This is awesome though.. I’m thinking Jbopp should front page this

OK I am now officially sick of the Mike Trout love
It is as annoying as watching old video of pre-teen Beatles groupies screaming, crying, and wetting themselves in the audience
