Roberto is listed at 3000. He actually had his 3000th hit wiped out in a rain cancelled game against the Mets, then hit it again the next day (last day of the season)against Jon Matlack. (I'm sure a number of guys had hits, HR's, etc, wiped out because of rain back then) Don't ask me Pirate questions... no one was more than a Pirate fan than I from 1972-1992.

Perry,
You may be right about the Pirates my man, but as far as your Nolan Ryan argument goes, I have the cavalry coming. My boy Bob Germano ( Seaford Baseball Reliever Class of 84) is going to bombard you with a plethora of Tom Seaver vs Nolan Ryan statistics you are going to feel like Duke on a Calculus exam your head's going to spinning so much!!
Beware!

Anthony, Maybe we can change this message board from "the alumni game" to "whose better, Seaver or Ryan" Maybe people will repond to that one? ? Gosh, only a handfull have responded to the alumni game. (but we Can field a team--- including Marylin of course) Perry PS: Ryan was the best ever. He was Bob Feller in his prime for 26 years. He was Dwight Gooden in his early years for 26 years. He was Seaver and Clemens bestest fastball EVERY time he pitched. And Koufax did it for only 6 great years. Walter Johnson? Christy Mathewson? Cy Young? The were the best of their times, if they played now, it's comparable to bringing Matsui from Japan (50HRs, phhh) to the bigs. Tell Germ to take his stats and toss them, like his blooper pitch that he had in little league.

Perry,
He was all those things except for one thing throughout. In a big game you could always beat him. In this society, this culture that is what always defines true greatness. That's why Joe DiMaggio always got the billing the greatest living baseball player over Ted Williams. This is why Joe Namath will always be regarded higher than Dan Marino, why Jordan is superior to Chamberlain, why Gretsky, well there is no foil to Gretsky.
I would take Koufax in a heart beat over Ryan.

ok, here we go again! Anthony.... Mario Lemieux was/is the greatest hockey player ever, not Gretzky. period. I don't have time to list the many reasons, observations, and facts right now, but it is true.

Perry,
We'll talk about Lemieux at another time, but as we speak my boy Germano is crunching numbers on Seaver Ryan that are going to make your head spin. BEWARE!

Perry,
You have to give me your email address because my boy Germano delivered as promised. He makes a statistical based argument Ryan/Seaver that as I said is going to knock your socks off and I want to forward it to you.

Anthony,
My email adress is given with the very first entry of this message board. I've spoken to a number of people and they all say Ryan is better than Seaver. Com'on... !Nolan Ryan! he is the Babe Ruth of pitchers. Anthony Smith called me, he is in on the alumni game.

Tucchi,
I think it is not to early to start thinking about the 2005 game. I have many a lot of ideas for our the next spring classic. More importantly, I am already working on my game because I absolutely refuse to go 0-4 again. Let me know when are going to caucus at the Wantagh Inn.

Sabs, or, ah...Mr Antonelli, You left off, Roy Roberti-82, Gerry Parker-82, Jimmy Roell-81, Night Train Lane-83, Peter Burke-82, Joe Errico-82, Mike Cannata-82, Tony V-82, Eric Krifscher-80, Tom -Benecki-80, Pete Gale-80, Ray Newmark-81, Craig Ackerman-83, probably a few more guys that I'll think of. How about some mid to late '80's guys out there? Perry: Thanks for remembering me. I agree with a lot of your choices above. What about the great lefty pitcher - Class of 79 I think - Richie Sullivan? Great pick-off move. He had his moments with Coach Conlon but when he was on, he was lights out.

Hi Tom, that was an early '80's list; the '70's list would be quite a bit longer-- which would include the great Nick Vitucci! Yes, Richie Sullivan was like a Guidry out there. We had a few guys from the mid-70's play in the alumni game and they were clutch. Hope you can come down to next years game-- ya never have enough great pitching!
