Francisco Cabrera

quote:

Cabrera is credited with hitting the home run that marked the turning point in the history of the Atlanta Braves. On Wednesday, August 21, 1991, the Braves played the Reds and entered the ninth inning trailing, 9–6. Reds ace reliever Rob Dibble was on the mound with two outs. Cabrera had started the game to give Braves starter Greg Olson a much-needed rest. With two outs, David Justice doubled, and Brian Hunter walked to bring Cabrera to the plate with the tying run. He responded with a three-run homer off Dibble to tie a game the Braves eventually won in 13 innings.


quote:

Cabrera is best known for his two out game-winning pinch hit off of Stan Belinda in the 9th inning of the 7th and deciding game of the 1992 National League Championship Series that put the Braves into the World Series. Cabrera hit a line drive over shortstop Jay Bell on a 2–1 pitch to left field that scored David Justice and a slow footed Sid Bream, who barely beat a left-field throw from Barry Bonds to win the pennant for the Braves. Amazingly, before this pinch hit, Cabrera had batted only ten times during the 1992 season.

GTFO. Billy Hamilton's career OPB is .297. Bonds' WORST season was .329 and he was .444 for his career. Hamilton is fast but he sucks at getting on base.



You sure about that?

I am surprised Ichiro is only mentioned once in 3 pages and it's taken this long

Ted Williams still for me

Obviously Ted Williams (not sure how he'd fair against today's pitchers)


let me help you out some.

Williams missed years in his youth as a Marine pilot in WW II.

Williams missed one or two years in his prime as a Marine pilot in Korea.

Since we get to pluck him out of space-time at his best, Williams is the answer.

This is not "who would you let date your sister?".

Williams was my first thought. Barry Bonds is a nice 2nd best.

They lowered the mound after Gibson. Pitchers had a bigger advantage in Williams era. The lights were not nearly as good either.
