Norm Cash .361 in 1961 , I was crushed when it came out later he used a corked bat. He was part of that ‘68 series team, and had a good series
I caught the end of the game on TV and must have misunderstood what the commentators said about complete games.
Alex Bregman has a career WAR quite a bit higher than Fried.
Most ‘Jewish’ players in recent decades are the product of intermarriage and may or may not consider themselves Jewish.
Bregman, Fried, and Dean Kremer (two Israeli parents) are Jewish by any standard.
Maybe there are more injuries because they are no longer pitching full games, just a few innings.
By then it was called Dodger Stadium.
Pitch speed has changed because the radar picks up the pitch 5 feet from release whereas before it was 5 feet in front of the plate.
Explain Nolan Ryan if it is about speed.
