He also had us top 10 in the country at one point, beat Florida for the first time in over a decade, and led us in the most fun 6 game stretch that I can remember in the last decade.

It’s okay to appreciate some of the things he did. I’ll always remember that Florida game.

Springer is Jordan
Maury is LeBron

Let the debate!

Different skill sets. Springer was all about bringing the whitest trashiest skinny dude and his overweight midget girlfriend on to reveal that the dude had been cheating on her with her best friend and her mom.

Maury was all about finding the skankiest girls that had slept with the most dudes and playing Russian Paternity Test to see which one was stuck dealing with her for 18 years.

Both great in their own areas. Very difficult to declare one the GOAT. I would give Springer the edge if only for his boxing ring bell and the spin off show his bouncer started.

How did the MLB say okay to that stupid short porch in Yankees stadium? Its ridiculous. You got lazy pop flys going over the wall. The yankees leading the majors in homers is a joke.

What are the playing field dimensions now?

The original Yankee Stadium (The House that Ruth built) was 295 ft. down the right field line, vs. 354 ft. to mid right field fence, and a whopping 490 ft. to center field ("death valley").

Maybe it was a coincidence that Babe Ruth batted left-handed & he pulled most of his HRs over the short right field fence? Ditto Roger Maris (61 HRs in 1961) and Yogi Berra also batted left-handed.

My hero growing up was Mickey Mantle, who although he was a switch-hitter, was right handed, unfortunately. He may have been the greatest Yankee HR hitter of all time, except that he had trouble pulling the ball down either the short LF or RF lines in Yankee Stadium:

"His 372 (L) to 164 (R) home run disparity was due to Mantle having batted left-handed much more often, as the large majority of pitchers are right-handed. In spite of short foul pole dimension of 296 feet (90 m) to left and 301 feet (92 m) to right in original Yankee Stadium, Mantle gained no advantage there as his stroke both left and right-handed drove balls there to power alleys of 344' to 407' and 402' to 457' feet from the plate. Overall, he hit slightly more home runs away (270) than home (266)."

There is nothing wrong with hesitant wait and see. But posting that over and over in every thread is not a hesitant wait and see approach. Its aggressively trying to get a reaction out of anyone who disagrees. It's a funny correlation how people with a pessimistic outlook tend to feel victimized by the sunshine pumpers. Then act like everybody else is offended because you didn't agree with them. And you claim to be the only one getting bullied for yer opinions. I guess it's not really surprising that someone with a glass half empty mindset would feel the world was against them. Makes sense. Just remember, it's not yer opinions that people have a problem with. They may disagree because like you, they are allowed opinions. Its yer personality that nobody likes.

Realist: glass is always full. (Varying percentage of fluid and air are irrelevant) :)

Pessimists claiming to be realists only espouse pessimistic views...
