Hey, Gantry

Hey, Gantry -

I haven't seen anything like this on there, but that doesn't mean it isn't there...

Is there a ranking order on the db of RBIers by each stat?  (ie who has the most hits in their career, etc. etc.)

I only ask because, out of sheer curiosity I looked up who was leads all time in getting hit by pitches, and lo and behold RBIer Don Baylor was 3rd all time...

Since I've yet to discover a site where I can determine career matchups between RBIers, I figured I'd undertake this instead, if it hasn't been done.

[Gantry]

There is no comprehensive listing, but the db could deifnitely use it.  Please do...

At work today I got all the way to Marc Sullivan.  Tomorrow I should probably finish the list and start the posts.  However, I'm not really sure how to make a NEW topic on there.

EDIT: Fuck, can we pretend it actually said the preceding? Skimming sucks, and I went through so much work making this.

MOS - The two best ways to make a new article:

1) Create a Wikilink in a previous article, [[New Article]]
2) Search for the new article.  Remember that it is case sensitive.  If no exact hits come up, there will be an option to create a new artcile...

I think you are talking about two different things: posting in the forums and creating a wiki page for the db.

MOS - Gantry wants you to create a wiki page with all that stat rankings and stuff.  You better do it or he'll get really mad.

I know what I'll be doing instead of working today.

WTF, Biggio just past him, but  I thought he had been the leader?  What's the deal?  He is 2nd all time, correct?

I think some guys from way back when has the record, but it isn't in 'the modern era,' so they often say that Biggio has the record, even though he is number 2.  I could be wrong about this, and if so, someone correct me.

I considered this, but then was fairly certain they didn't even keep track of HBP for a long time, just counted them as walks.  I'll try to look it up.

According to Baseball Reference's list of all-time HBP leaders:

Prior to 2005 season:
1. Hughie Jennings - 287
2. Tommy Tucker - 272
3. Don Baylor - 267
4. Craig Biggio - 256
5. Ron Hunt - 243

Right, that's where I got my info.  If Biggio passed him, well, that sucks for Baylor, I suppose.  But stats aren't official til the end of the year, right?

Are you joking?  Of course they are official before the end of the year, it's not like the can just void the entire season.  They didn't wait until October to celebrate Aaron's 715th homer.

Well, I thought that technically things like errors could be changed long after the game is over.  Really, though, I'm too lazy to add the stats of active players, and would rather wait until baseball-reference does it for me so I can recalculate.

Agreed

[Dryden]

All stats can be refigured due to things like adding mistakes after the fact, but the reality is they don't happen much anymore.  Pretty much the only judgement call is hits-errors, and that becomes official once the game is done.

you get to much you get to high niot enouigh and your gonna die.

Gantry, what's up with the forums today?  it was really slooooow this morning, now it is getting back to normal speed but all the fonts are bigger or something.

[Gantry]

Not seeing anything from this end, let me know if it is still going on...

[ultimate7]

It was really slow yesterday late afternoon
