I have been fascinated by some of statistics that have been amassed by some of major leaguers. Viewing some players numbers has amazed me. My Baseball memorabilia are these amazing stats.

Here are a few achievements I thought might interest you.

Rogers Hornsby From 1921 to 1925 he batted 2679 times - He hit safely 1078 times And averaged .402 during this five year run. Not too shabby

From ages 36 to 41 - his final six years in Majors he batted 350 times total Hit safely 105 times and fell 70 hits short of 3000 hits for his career. Maybe he could have planned better.

Lou Gehrig From 1930 to 1934 he drove in 813 runs An average of 162 RBIs per year - Enough said The man was a run producing machine

The other day, as I watched my daughter take batting practice from her new batting coach, my eyes shifted to another batter that was being coached by another teacher. Her swings were slow, ball was glancing off her bat and trickling into batting screen. Her hips were not rotating and there was no power being generated from her swings.

The coach then took some time with her to show her some techniques that would help her in her quest to be a better hitter. They spoke for about 10 minutes. Or should I say coach spoke for 10 minutes and girl listened.

As I gazed back and forth between my daughter and this other girl I realized that after about 20 more minutes of hitting and talking with her coach that this girl ( we will call her this girl ) was smacking ball. Projectiles were streaming off her bat. That loud crack from her bat was reverberating in facility.
