[quote:fbc37e5e52="B.o.b.b.y..."]I think it was Mantle who said that if he knew the 40/40 club was going to be such a big deal (following Canseco feat in the late 80's) that he would have done it a few times.......lol,lol[/quote:fbc37e5e52]

You are correct Bobby.

Every time I hear that comment, it strikes me as funny ... If he could have done it all along don't you think he should have???

any other them suggestions are welcome--but I think that we have to keep it limited to people below .500 lifetime.

Let me know if you start a league

I'd be interested - after getting blown out for three of four seasons - I am hovering in the 50-60 below .500 and still looking for a championship - maybe we could call the league - High Falootin' Mediocrity - you get kicked out when you win a championship or get above .500

Petrosian is a VETERAN manager who, I believe, was talking tongue in cheek. He is about 2400 (yes you read correctly, 2400 plus or minus) games over .500, and has a winning percentage of .537, and so would not be eligible.

Kriff, on the other hand, is Bad news with a Capital "B". There have been many threads on him on these boards and on the old boards. He has a winning percentage of .333. You don't want him in one of your leagues, though. He has had 23 teams, and on virtually all of them, he does wholesale dumping of players for no reason, after the penalty kicks in, sometimes picking up the same player again. His payroll usually ends up around 40 million in an 80 million league, which means that his division often ends up winning the wild card slot also, because Kriff's teams perform so poorly. To the best of my knowledge, he has never given a real reason for his salary dumps, either ignoring requests to explain, or giving lame excuse after lame excuse.

I just lost my 1,000th game and am about 70 games under .500. To add insult to injury....my only ATGII playoff team won a championship so I can't join the first ring fling... :shock:

I'm in. What's the password?
