I'm surprised there's only four players in the 40/40 club, first one wasn't done until 1988 and none of the four are in the HOF :ohhh:



Thought there was more players in the 40/40 club and it was done for the first time sooner than 1988..


A 40/40 season has to be the GOAT display of athleticism in sports, both elite speed and power :banderas:


Soriano could have done it twice but he was one HR short in the 02 season.

Crazy you brought this up. They showed Dodger History last night with Kemp getting the 30-30. He was one homer away from cracking the 40-40. :francis:

There are more Braves fans at this Rays game than Rays fans. This is crazy.

Ain’t The rays always like bottom 5 in attendance…nobody cares about them there..I’m not even sure if they sell out playoff games

Which is sad
I think the stadium is in a shytty location hence the poor attendance. I wonder how the Rays local TV ratings compare to other teams in the league?

We already have a good reason not to watch the HR Derby:

Chris Berman’s stupid calls.

Their broadcast has been brutal for a long time. CMo is awful.
I couldn’t even finish the damn game. He kept talking over Todd jones making corny ass jokes. Then he did the batting lineups and only talked about 1-2-4-9 :why: No nikka do the whole lineup.

He's better than Kirk Gibson, who was one of the analysts before him. At least CMo LIKES baseball and sounds happy. Gibby is a miserable prick who sounded like it was a parole requirement to cover the games. By far the worst announcer I've ever heard.
