Not knowing any better, as a kid I cursed my fledgling baseball career by throwing left but batting right. Not sure if this is the complete list, but here's nine BRTL players with at least 1000 major league games played.
Player WAR HR RBI OPS+
Rube Bressler..........19.3......32.....586...110
Hick Carpenter.......... 4.6......18.....543.... 86
Hal Chase................. 22.9......57.....941...112
Johnny Cooney..........8.4........2.....219.... 87
Rickey Henderson 111.2...297...1115...127
Cleon Jones............. 18.0.....93.....524....110
Ryan Ludwick.......... 11.2... 154....587....109
Cody Ross................ 13.5....132....508...104
Jimmy Ryan.............. 43.6... 118..1093...124
Well those same baseball fanatics who cheered when the Braves paid $42 million for a free agent outfielder can now eat their words now that he's facing a second straight extended suspension, though I'm sure they have long forgotten what they said back on that day. In August they'll be calling out GM AA for not bringing in a front line player, forgetting that very front line player let the team down by being suspended on March 3rd.
Lang has dropped below 200 pounds. That's my goal as well. Back in mid 2025 when overtime was cut out I started going out for lunch every day, instead of skipping breakfast and lunch. Gained back most of the weight I had lost for A&C's wedding. Since retirement I've been hitting the gym most days, moving and getting those 10000 steps. Lost 7 or 8 pounds but I have kinda plateaued. Cut out fast food for the most part, except for a deal here and there. But I am still eating too much. Now that it's finally warming up perhaps I can make more progress.
