It's absurd that the man the annual "Best DH" award is named after isn't in the hall of fame. Akin to not having Cy Young in.

The worst part of this is that if Edgar had played a shitty 3B for 12 years, he'd be more likely to be voted in.
It's interesting that there is no questioning that pitchers only have to pitch. No one judges NL pitchers on their batting average, RBI, hits, HR, etc. Because of the DH, the point is moot for the AL's pitchers.
But if you can hit, well then by God, you'd better play the field, too.
He was a great hitter. Better than…
Career OPS+ of 147, and the DH Award is named after him; it's silly that he's not already in.
You are so, so, right, especially as it pertains to Yankees' fans. There is the Thome, Ortiz, Griffey, Berrora, Vaughn, Manny line as far as Yankees' fans fears go. Then there is Edgar Martinez. That man was a domestic terrorist in my childhood. I have feared nobody more in any sport at any position than when he stood…

You're the worst.
Some people like me are not homophobic... they just find anal sex disgusting and people who do it gross.
So I see the Expansion committee approves of steroids enablers. Got it.
Frank Thomas has chunks of guys like Ryan Howard in his stool.
How is he in day games after night games? What about on Tuesdays when the date of the preceding Monday was a prime number? THESE ARE IMPORTANT THINGS THAT THE MARINERS SHOULD HAVE CONSIDERED.
Honk if you just fucking LOVE the fact that the one time the Yankees showed just a modicum of fiscal discipline was the only time in the last ten years when it probably wasn't the right thing to do.
That and a nickel'll get him a cup of coffee at Starbucks these days! Am I right folks? This guy knows what I mean.
Best summers in the world, motherfucker.
I see this kind of thing all the time over at my neighborhood sports mead hall.
Yes, but the college having stupid priorities doesn't mean the professor is wrong to prioritize education.
So her participation in a volleyball game is more important to her education than attending class? I get being flexible and all that, but is the purpose of a community college to field a volleyball team or to educate people?
