Nope. He'll walk off the field if his avg dips below .2999999994

so game 5 of next year?  

people always talk about how Mantle was filled with regret by letting his avg. dropping below .300 for his career.  

Mantle made 1.13 m for his CAREER.  Albert is going to make about 60m over the next two years.  I wonder if someone had offered the Mick 8 million dollars (inflation adjusted amount that Albert is going to get relative to 1968) to play a couple more years if he'd have taken it without concern for his career avg.  

Anyway, the ROC never really bothered me.

Mantle played his entire career dealing with a string of injuries. Starting in the 1951 WS.

This is an amazing review of the entire incident with graphic pictures.

Seems DiMaggio really was a jerk as a person.

But Mantle never was as good as he potentially could have been. However, still iconic, a great player and my first childhood hero. 

I have his autograph next to a signed Trout jersey. So many similarities on and off the field.

Yeah, I doubt we'll ever see Trout like this

Jeff is gonna be a busy guy.

I was actually a fan of the contact play EXCEPT that there were times when it was clearly over used, specifically when the opposing team would play their infield in. Those were just runs / outs being thrown away.

I like the play where we hit the ball over the fence. We should run that one more often.

It's all about his name in history! No doubt he walks before he hits below the .300 line...

It appears many people here will not like the return of Mike Scioscia in hip glasses and flashier sound bites.

I can’t wait.  That is almost exactly what he is.

it'll be different though

until it's not (in like the third game).  

[Taylor]

You guys are crazy. Everyone here will love Maddon.

 

Until he loses his first game. Then it will be time to fire him.

[Docwaukee]

I will say that I'd be happier with him at the helm than Ausmus.

Me too.  I just don’t believe it makes much of a difference.  I have no problem replacing Ausmus and I fully understand that the team knows more about what goes on than we ever will.  The company I work for has one owner, and at the end of the day she promotes who she wants, it’s her money to spend on whom she’d like to spend it on.  The same is true with Arte.  If they fired Ausmus because he wants Maddon, I see it as something pretty normal.

He has it on good authority that Pujols will be retiring after the 2021 season.

When the angels can’t get Rendon for 3/45 they will panic and extend Pujols for his “clubhouse leadership”.
