“You have a hallway up the middle of your nose and sinus cavities on each side,” said Hamilton, whose addiction to drugs and alcohol led to a ban from baseball from 2003-2005. “When you breathe air, it goes up and down the hallway.

< 1 2Dude's rockin' a .393 BABIP. If Fangraphs figured batter WAR the way they do pitcher WAR, there would be people arguing (in all seriousness) that Trout is only the third or fourth best hitter on his own team.
The eligibility rule says 130 AB (not PA). Trout had 123 last year. I don't think he had 45 days on the active roster prior to September 1 either.
Yeah, but he was pretty amazing in 84 too. He actually struck out more that year, and in many fewer innings than 1985. Only allowed 7 homers. By FIP 1984 was his best year.

Well I wasn't the one to decide against a FIP-based WAR, now was I? :-)
Piazza and Pujols both deserve mention, methinks.
Edit: Oh, and Nomar.
