What I meant was that I will grant that, as Lordpnut said, "his hitting record speaks for itself". I would also contend that his admittedly impressive .303 lifetime batting average is somewhat offset by his lifetime 160 home runs. He was a banjo hitter. A .409 slugging percentage is no great shakes.
Oh, you'd remember if you had been there.In the tiki, tiki, tiki, tiki roomIn the tiki, tiki, tiki, tiki roomAll the birds sing words and the flowers croonIn the tiki, tiki, tiki, tiki roomKill me. Kill me now.
She was a terrible racist bigot from hell. But that is NOT the problem MLB had with her. Not by a long shot. Don't let them off the hook by thinking her punishments had jack all to do with her bigotry.MLB has then, and does now, put money before everything.
It you went to The Enchanted Tiki Room, you'd definitely remember it - it's theme song is the most annoying earworm in the history of music - and why even the people who like it describe it as charmingly dated (some people even note it was rather dated even when it opened at Disneyland - yet they copied it in Disneyworld and i believe the one in Japan)
And while the characters are birds (maybe why it's as far as i know it's escaped major scrutiny) they speak in the extremely exaggerated ethnic stereotype voices (and not the Polynesian voices you might expect) that make so many cartoons from the 1950s difficult to watch.
And tiki itself is based upon stereotypical depictions of Polynesian culture from post World War II period - so the entire attraction is based upon mismatched stereotypes of other countries straight of the 1950s

And (I reiterate) he was an asshole.
You wonder how much longer the Washington professional football team can hang on to its awful name. it's been long overdue for it to change.

He wasn't a slugger. Kinda not surprising a not a slugger would not have a great slugging average, being he was more an on base hit man.
Oh, is he mad people won't wear their masks like the law currently says?
Yes, that family of racist fuckers has ruined my beloved Cubbies for me. Forever.
There's one in the White house now.
to eventually rename the organization for someone less controversial, like Pete Rose.Damn, Dok. That's cold! What did the Queen City ever do to you?
Eat a bag of dicks the size of Clint Hurdle's inflated ego.

The Cubs winning the WS started this darkest timeline!! Even my Cubs fan wife agrees.
Right. Which is why I refer to him as a "banjo hitter".
That doesn't sound too bad.
me & my beisbul buddies used to call her marge "she oughtta be" schott
