Strat-O-Matic Baseball 365

Figured I'd try Hank Greenberg's 1934 card because of the gargantuan doubles, especially in a league with more lefty starters (rocks the doubles on southpaws, 24.4%):

In 96 games, 46 doubles already! Playing in a small ball park with speedy guys ahead of him:

My team is just so-so, but wanted to try this card in the right context for max output. It's not your typical HR-driven Greenberg card, it was one of his earlier years (second full season). Greenberg was actually quite a prolific doubles hitter throughout his career.

53 doubles so far in 111 games ... he has so many doubles, and a decent amount of HRs (23 so far), that he may reach 100 extra base hits this season, something I really like and look for ... especially in the value context of a hitter with a $7.69M salary.

Nice, I'll have to give that card a try sometime.

Greenberg ended up with 77 doubles.

Cobb with 30 triples also very impressive. 4 20 game winners as well. Nice season.

Can you tell me what you were feeding Hank? My version clearly doesn't have the same diet:

I was feeding him a lot of left-handed pitching -- that's his best side for doubles. In building this team, I noticed a majority of lefty starters in the league. On your team, looks like he's seeing mostly righthanded pitching.

yes, but 0.227?

look at him vs. vince coleman for my team.

Chief Wilson 1912 has that triples record that always gets me excited - after all, it IS the most exciting play in the game.
