How do you define "all time hitter"?

It's always been mine. I also define monster season as a 200+ OPS+ season. Anything less isn't monster.Originally posted by Honus Wagner Rules View PostLou Gehrig is the Truest Yankee of them all!Comment

So that means that there are only eight "all time hitters". Bonds, Ruth, Hornsby, Williams, Gehrig, Mantle, Cobb and Foxx. No Mays, Musial, Wagner, Shoeless Joe, Pujols, Aaron...Originally posted by White Knight View PostComment

I'd add anyone over 170 for 10 years for sure. Musial was 170 over 14 seasons and 15 years.Comment

What's an All Time hitter again? Is like a Pantheon of hitting? If that's the case, he's not in it. But by his bat alone he'll go the HOF."I am not too serious about anything. I believe you have to enjoy yourself to get the most out of your ability."-

Of course not. That is why clean 200 OPS+ seasons are almost non-existent since the early 60's. Who has had a clean 200+ season since Mantle? Bonds in 1992 and 1993? Anybody else? Brett and Thomas and Bagwell in shortened seasons.Originally posted by Honus Wagner Rules View PostLast edited by Bothrops Atrox; 09-01-2012, 05:50 AM.1885 1886 1926 1931 1934 1942 1944 1946 1964 1967 1982 2006 2011
