I disagree with the way you portrayed stats like WHIP, DIPS, etc (that any fan at all recognizes them now..I think that one of the issues is that not nearly enough people know what they are), but I understand that you were exaggerating a bit to make your point. I remember when you wrote about Chadwick for nyyfans. He's certainly a very interesting guy, and his place in the Hall of Fame is well deserved. Well done, as usual. :)

Another of Chadwick's many accomplishments: he was the one who decided that strikeouts should be notated as "K."

I really enjoyed the article. Good job!

What kind of hack article is this? The author should be banned from the internet.
























:p :D I kid, Phil, I kid.

haha
well, these are more friendly responses than the ones I received when I suggested that Jeter's range wasn't very good.

Which begs the question, what did Chadwick have to say in your dreams about that whole debate? ;)

He said that A-Rod will be playing SS for the Red Sox next year. I woke up dazed and confused.

That was a nightmare, not a dream.

Great article - lousy dream.

Thanks for sharing, though :)
