40 - Rangers Leftfielders

Baseball Beyond Batting Average

Mark and Andy get back into the team/position episodes for an exploration of all things Rangers leftfielders. Although Harold Baines was a leftfielder and played for the Rangers, he never played leftfield for the Rangers. That didn't stop the hosts from spending a good bit of time debating his Hall of Fame election. Most of the time was spent analyzing players who actually did play the position for the Washington/Texas franchise, though. Headliners like Josh Hamilton, Frank Howard, and Juan Gonzalez populate the leaderboards, but lesser luminaries like Billy Sample, Tony Scruggs, and Gary Gray really add character to the conversation. By the end, when you think you know everything from Allen (Hank) to Zisk (Richie), you can play along in Roll The Stat, P. K. Steinberg's favorite stat guessing game ever. You will almost undoubtedly beat the hosts this time.
