      Also, Joe Cronin, 1930: 686 PA, .346 AVG, 36 strikeouts. In a year where he hit 13 homers, but also drove in 126.

      Joe DiMaggio hit 361 homers in his career. He struck out 369 times.

      Joe DiMaggio, 1939: 524 PA, .381 AVG, 20 K's. 30 homers, 126 RBI in the old cavernous Yankee Stadium.

      EDIT: One more, then I'm done.

      Johnny Pesky, 1949: 712 PA, .306 AVG, 19 K's, 100 BB. Power numbers nothing to write home about, His OBP was higher than his SLG.

        Mickey Mantle was allegedly officially timed at 3.1 seconds from home to first. Vada Pinson's time was similar, and Vince Coleman was in the 3.0 neighborhood. For reference, Ichiro was in the 3.6-3.7 range in his prime.

        Point of reference: Anything faster than 4.0 is considered an "8" or an "80" on the standard scouting 2-8 or 20-80 systems, with 80 being at the top of the elite. Meaning, if you have "80 power", you're in Babe Ruth territory, and if you have an "80 glove", you're the next coming of Brooks Robinson or Ozzie Smith.

          Compare Buxton to Usain. Then take into account the left turns Buxton has to make, AND wearing baseball gear.

            Though cavernous in the alleys old Yankee Stadium was a joke down the foul lines. That park could be used to fluff numbers, though even that took a helluva hitter.

                    Is this what people were talking about at the All-Star Break when they thought he had a legitimate shot at 60?

                      He's a power hitter. HR or SO. *shrug*

                      Although this streak is something to behold.....

                        He's definitely a power hitter. I was just looking at his splits and a few things jumped out to me: (1) He has only 3 Home Runs in August. He had 27 in April-May-June; (2) He is currently on pace to hit 49 HRs, which would tie the rookie record; (3) 20 of his 37 home runs are solo shots, which leads to; (4) He only has 80 RBIs...would have guessed he would be floating around 100 with how many homers he has; and (5) He was hitting a HR about every 10 ABs before the break (and about 1K/2.75 ABs)...since the break it is about 17 ABs/HR (and about 1K/2ABs). It certainly seems as though he has lost a lot of momentum, and the league has caught up to him a bit.

                        That being said, I hate the Yankees, and I hope he strikes out in every at bat he takes while wearing the pinstripes.

                            Meh, it's been proven that he's struggling to lay off the low and outside, particularly slider/curve. Easier/quicker for pitchers to exploit than for him to adjust.

                            Also had a nearly historic first half, not surprising that there's a regression.

                            Kinda actually pumped for this SNB. Super cool that the MLB worked in a game in Williamsport and are including the kids through the day before the game.

                              DiMaggio isn't in the era of specialized pitchers. No knock on Joey D, helluva hitter. But in this day and age with holders and closers....

                              As far as Aaron goes, pitchers are figuring him out. He hasn't caught up to that yet. We'll see if he can adjust.

                                A guy with as big a frame as he has (and as big a swing) will have holes. And in this day and age, no holes go unexploited for long. A fantastic rookie year, but let's see how he is hitting in two years. And how Yankee fans are treating him.
