Raideraholic Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 What a great player too bad he stayed around too long when his skills were shot. Hope people don’t have same thought about a Rodgers.

How much would a player like him be worth in todays market, $1 billion for 10 years? I also wonder if the numbers I read will be (or have been) adjusted for the recent change to include the Negro League statistics? I think he played there for 2-3 years before joining the Giants. Don't forget he also spent time serving our country. Missed most of 2 seasons of his prime. IF he had played he may of past Ruth for the real home run record. We lost a legend. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
