NEWPOSTERGUY! 269 Posted April 8 Aaron never had a season of 50 HRs ... sorry, but the guy cannot be recognized as anything more than a stat padder, in that sense. Would you call a pitcher who never had a 20 win season the GOAT? Or a batter who never had a 200 hit season? I realize 50 HR seasons are fewer and far between, but, still ... big ball of MEH on this one - it should've had an asterik, just like the 61* for Maris. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hardcore troubadour 12,821 Posted April 8 Henry Aaron is the Homerun King. And are you chuckleheads going to forget he is the all time RBI king too? Driving in runs is kinda important. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike Honcho 4,078 Posted April 8 His 162 Average 107 Runs, 185 hits, 31 Doubles, 37 HR, 113 RBI and .928 OPS Ohtani 162 100 runs, 158 hits, 30 doubles, 39HR, 101 RBI and .923 OPS. Aaron would be paid 40+Million a year easily. He consistently put up high numbers when the majority of his career was played with a higher mound. Again, bag on him all you want, I think he's one of the greatest to ever play the game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jerryskids 5,280 Posted April 8 Ah, nostalgia... I remember that HR. I was almost 8 yrs old, really the beginning of a lot of my memories. I was into baseball, tried out for little league. Started collecting baseball cards in earnest - got the entire set in 1976, the only year I did it. This was solely by buying packs at the local store when I had made enough money from chores and delivering newspapers, which I may have started that early. Speaking of paperboys, can you imagine today: sending out a kid that young on his bike to fling papers at peoples' doors, then sending him alone every two weeks to random peoples' houses to collect money? We coddle kids too much today. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We coddle kids too much today. When I was a kid, I loved science, and I really loved the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago. Between the ages of 10 - 14., my father would drop me and my brother off there on the way to work and then pick us up at 5PM. He'd be locked up today for doing something like.

We coddle kids too much today. Did the same for 1978. Only year I ever accomplished that feat. I just completed my 1973, 1974, 1975, 1976 & 1977 sets via ebay. Too bad I didn't keep all my extras from 1975. Had a shitton of George Brett rookie cards I burned. He was a dime a dozen back then. I do have 3 of them. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
