FrutigerAero Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 Very roughly speaking, when the National Basketball Association was created the National League was as old as the NBA is now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferdinand Cesarano Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 1 hour ago, FrutigerAero said: Very roughly speaking, when the National Basketball Association was created the National League was as old as the NBA is now. I'm still anazed by the realisation that the Mets are now older than the Yankees were when the Mets began. The Mets are in their 63rd season; the Mets' first season of 1962 was the Yankees' 60th season. (It works even if you count the two years in Baltimore as part of the Yankees' franchise.) This feels bizarre because, when I was a kid in the early/mid 1970s — and when I was a Yankee fan — Met fans used to razz us by asking "Who's won more pennants and World Series in the past five years?" And our retort was "You have no history." This whole passage of time thing is a mf-er. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And as of this season, the Marlins and Rockies are just as old today as the Mets (and Astros) when those 2 started playing ball. Mets and Astros 32nd seasons were 1993 Marlins and Rockies 32nd seasons are 2024 1 3 Quote trueyankee26.wordpress.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love some stat guru to find if there's ever been a one-year-wonder season like Anderson had, which was just coincidentally during the juice era. I forget exactly what a standard deviation is, but that season had to be multiple SDs from his norm.

Most HRs Brady Anderson hit in a season from 1988 to 1995: 21 in 1992 Brady Anderson HRs in 1996: 50 Most HRs Brady Anderson hit in a season from 1997 to 2002: 24 in 1999. It sure looks like he decided to try steroids for one season, didn't like the side effects or something, and went back to normal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
