That’s some bad take, Harry. You’re watching a guy who’ll be revered for centuries. Have some fun. Enjoy yourself. Have a beer and relax. Okay, maybe no beer, this being the 1920s. But still. Jefferson Manship (Dan Lee)

Not that one: Bill Murray
He had 35 more home runs and scored 45 more runs than any other player in baseball.
In the American League, he was first in OBP (.512), third in batting average (.378), second in doubles (44), and tied for fourth in triples (16). If half of his home runs were doubles instead, he still would have led the American League in home runs and would now hold the all-time single-season record for doubles.
He was actually tied for eighth in stolen bases with 17, but he was also tied for sixth in caught stealing with 13, so he would have been even better had he not tried to steal a single base. He only had four sacrifices, but why the heck would you have the greatest player of all time having arguably his best season even lay down a single sacrifice bunt?
Harry Salsinger was an idiot, but you all knew that. I just wanted to point out how absurd his take was.
Yeah, when he criticized the batting average of a guy who just hit .378, I had a good idea.
