At least baseball is staying closed like a responsible institution. Everything else around here is throwing a grand opening party like the last few months didn't exist and everything is all better now.

Theriot was probably my least favorite player on the 2011 Cardinal team. He managed to be a downer during that run by being a whiny turd about playing time. Like dude, you're on the St. Louis Cardinals and they already have Nick Punto, Skip Schumaker, Daniel Descalso, and Pete Kozma. As scrappy as you are, can't out-scrap them Ryan. I'm sorry.

I feel like he didn't make the team until Furcal went down with TJS. In retrospect my least-favorite player on 2011 was Lance Berkman because vocal bigotry.

Who generally is considered the worst player to be a significant contributor to a World Series winning team? I only know Braves lore, but I have to figure Mike Kelly is a pretty strong contender with the statline: 97 G, 137 AB, .190/.258/.314, .572 OPS, 49 OPS+ That team somehow also survived having Mark Lemke and the corpse of Jeff Blauser up the middle (with Rafael Belliard first off the bench) and a real turd of a year from Marquis Grissom, it really did take an all-time pitching rotation to get them over the line. elentar fucked around with this message at 01:02 on May 25, 2020 |

Luis Sojo (career 71 OPS+) was on all four Yankees championship rosters from 1996-2000 and even got the series-winning hit in 2000 on a million-hop grounder up the middle.

Hal Smith hit the biggest home run in World Series history, giving the Pirates a 9-7 lead in Game 7 of the 1960 World Series, and everyone forgot about it because of Mazeroski's walk-off homer in the next inning. He played 10 partial seasons with no full seasons, and all the results when I google Hal Smith are about an actor who played the town drunk in The Andy Griffith Show.

elentar posted:I only know Braves lore, but I have to figure Mike Kelly is a pretty strong contender with the statline: It surprises me still that Kelly didn’t pan out because he was a MiLB superstar and I saw him play several times with the Greenville Braves and he was considered as good or better of a prospect than teammates Chipper and Javy. Also I’ll not hear a bad work about Lemke or Blauser. Or Belliard with his solid glove and wet noodle bat.

I've come to appreciate him quite a bit on the radio broadcasts. Blauser was pretty good at his peaks (and he had another one in him still) but he was terrible in 1995. Belliard was probably my dad's favorite player, and I can't see how you would dislike him. His 10 years between home runs has to be close to an MLB record (at least for non-pitchers).
