Enough with the soccer gifs.  Save those for the lame NT threads.

No tear... *whew*
 
Watching Jordan Walden pitch for the braves. His motion :wow:

Here's an old .gif, but it really does it no justice in real-time

It's crazy to think how many records could have been broken that year as well as how many players would have had amazing years if they played 162. There were six guys with 5+ WAR already in a little over 110 games. Staggering.

Bagwell had 39/116 batting .368
Thomas had 38/101 batting .353
Griffey had 40/90
Lofton had 12/57 and 60 steals
Bonds had 37/81 and 29 steals
Belle had 36/101 batting .357
Matt Williams had 43/96
Gwynn was batting .394
Maddux was 16-6 1.56

Insane.

Thanks for posting that Dland. Repped.

That's a great article. Nostalgic. I remember a lot of that year too. At the time, I was only 9 years old, but Moises Alou was one of my favorite players. Had no idea who Larry Walker and Pedro were though.

Manny Machado today. Doesn't even have ice pack on knee. No crutches needed to walk.

*whew*
