It’s Albert Belle and it’s not even close He should have won MVP twice but he was a dick to the media.


This, and the only reason it's not unanimous end of discussion here as it should be, was because it wasn't only the media he was a dick to, and he left LSU on bad terms.

Best lsu big league career?
Alvin Dark

quote:

Alvin Ralph Dark (January 7, 1922 – November 13, 2014), nicknamed "Blackie" and "the Swamp Fox", was an American professional baseball shortstop and manager.

He played fourteen years in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Boston/Milwaukee Braves (1946, 1948–49, 1960), the New York Giants (1950–1956), the St. Louis Cardinals (1956–1958), the Chicago Cubs (1958–59), and the Philadelphia Phillies (1960). Later, he managed the San Francisco Giants (1961–1964), the Kansas City/Oakland Athletics (1966–67, 1974–75), the Cleveland Indians (1968–1971), and the San Diego Padres (1977).

He was a three-time All-Star and a two-time World Series champion, once as a player (1954) and once as a manager (1974).

Of the three shortstops in New York following World War II, Dark had a higher batting average and more home runs than Phil Rizzuto or Pee Wee Reese, despite the fact that he is the only one not in the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum.

Bregman & belle and no one else is in the discussion

DJ LeMaheiu is the underrated Tiger. The quiet killer.

Really good player, penny. If Bregman didn’t exist he’d be the best position player since Belle

At this point in time, it has to be Albert Belle as evidenced by the numbers.

I believe that Albert Belle had the best pro careeer. Todd Walker was also a solid player.

Certainly Alvin Dark and DJ are up there, along with Bregman.

It’s sad that Miracle Mike Miley’s career was cut short or we could be mentioning him as one of the top players from LSU.

Maybe not the best former Tiger MLB career but I've always loved Russell Springer as an LSU rep. 18 seasons in MLB! LINK

Lamahieu might not be the greatest but he’s had a damn impressive run.

Not this retard jibberish you keep speaking.

Who is the replacement ON THEIR OWN TEAM? What is really their “level”? It is a “relative” type of stat ans opposed to a real measure.
DJ is a better player overall for his career. Alex may be able to get to his number of hits. Likely won’t reach his average or gold gloves.

How can you bash a stat that you do not understand?

There isn’t a meaningful offensive statistic that says DJL generated more offense than Alex Bregman.

No one cares about batting titles especially since you hit .266 on the road for your career, away from Coors & Yankee stadium

If this is seriously your interpretation, you're a bigger idiot than previously thought.
