    I'd say we have a consensus, but I think we'd better wait for Ian to weigh in on this.

    Eddie Gaedel was overrated because the media wanted a "little person" to succeed.

    Well, I need to know how you came up with 21 assists for Mays when he got 195 career OF assists. He got .0686 assists per game in the OF compared to Dom's .107. For those keeping score, that's 56% more for Dom.

    Here's another interesting stat. Runs per 162 games.

    Dom: 121
    Mays: 112

    Not a fair comparison? Ok, then let's compare Dom to "the greatest leadoff man is history" Rickey Henderson: 121 runs per 162 games.

    Dom retired at the age of 35 due to an eye injury. Kind of like HOFer Kirby Puckett.

    Next you'll claim Joe was better than Dom.

    I know a software that can help you all to end this fight whether he was better Dom or Joe "of May".

    This fight is spreading worldwide causing hatred and raising antiamericanism in my neighborhood.

    This morning an old lady stopped me screaming "why the hell those terrorists write DiMaggio instead of Di Maggio? They hate us, they hate our 2 words surnames, they act so in order to provoke us."

    You keep acting unilaterally without asking the help of UN, UN's consent.

    Use this software and everything will be fine.

    "A revolutionary whole new approach" even to the dom vs. joe quarrel.

    He got 37 assists at 1B and 1 at 3B, but that doesn't come close to raising his average to 21 a year :)

    and with my math (looks like i divided by 10 full seasons instead of 20 on that one)... it's called sleep deprivation

    in any event, there goes your assertion that a BSer will never admit a mistake :D

    This reminds me.. Ron Santo is another player that absolutely belongs in the HOF.
