Wade Boggs?

Wade Boggs?

Yes

Wade Boggs career line: .328/.415/.443

Joe Mauer career line: .323/.405/.468

So Boggs has been a better hitter because OBP is more important.  Also, Boggs did it in a diminished offensive era.

But throw defense in there?  Mauer wins in a landslide.

He also did it in Fenway, however.

He's seriously underrated, though. Guy was good.

Joe Mauer career BR WAR = 41.5 (oWAR = 42.0, dWAR = 3.4)
Wade Boggs career BR WAR = 90.9 (oWAR = 80.5, dWAR = 12.9)

Boggs has just over twice as many plate appearances.




twinsfan -> RE: Baseball Trivia (6/7/2013 2:23:12 PM)

I didn't realize Boggs was such a defensive stud.  Blows Mauer away.

Wade Boggs ate what food before every game of his 18 year major league career?

Was known for some time as the "chicken man"

In Wade Boggs' last major league game, he sported a:

a) beard and mustache
b) mustache only
c) beard only
d) goatee
e) clean shave




Pete M. -> RE: Baseball Trivia (6/7/2013 2:50:31 PM)

What was the name of Boggs' long-time mistress that eventually split with him and made a huge scene in the press? (This isn't trivia, I'm legitimately asking.) [&:]

Sadly, I knew this, too.

So I take this to mean you do not know the facial hair trivia.

Nope, didn't register anything in the outer realms of my dead brain tissue.

I was going to say b.

It was the obvious answer.  But almost too obvious.  Like it was a trick question.  But it was a fake trick question.

Three current MLB players have 2,000 hits with one team -- but are no longer with that team.  Name them.

I am the opposite of a stats geek so these are guesses-at best.  I will say Ichiro and Pujols as two players.  But Pujols is probably a stretch as I do not think he is even at 2,000 hits yet. 




Stacey King -> RE: Baseball Trivia (9/5/2013 3:02:29 PM)

ichiro




Stacey King -> RE: Baseball Trivia (9/5/2013 3:03:21 PM)

pujols maybe
