Wow. I just finished a review of the 1963 season. Re-reading this discussion was great.

I just retro-fitted my tables with exciting borders for clearer reading.

OK, we have some significant disparities in this one. The top ten match up but we have big differences in the middle, particularly with Jay Hook. It might have been me screwing around, but I should have at least noted changes I imposed onto the spreadsheet in the thread. 1963 Rankings POINTS PLAYER SPREADSHEET SEZ: 30 Ron Hunt Ron Hunt 29 Carl Willey Carl Willey 28 Roger Craig Roger Craig 27 Jim Hickman Jim Hickman 26 Al Jackson Al Jackson 25 Duke Snider Duke Snider 24 Frank Thomas Frank Thomas 23 Larry Bearnarth Larry Bearnarth 22 Tim Harkness Tim Harkness 21 Galen Cisco Galen Cisco 20 Tracy Stallard Tracy Stallard 19 Charlie Neal Charlie Neal 18 Jay Hook Al Moran (+1) 17 Al Moran Grover Powell (+5) 16 Rod Kanehl Joe Hicks (+1) 15 Jim (actually Joe) Hicks Jesse Gonder (+4) 14 Ed Kranepool Duke Carmel (+6) 13 Choo Choo Coleman Ed Kranepool =orange](-1) 12 Grover Powell Rod Kanehl =orange](-4) 11 Jesse Gonder Don Rowe (+5) 10 Joe Christopher Joe Christopher 9 Ken McKenzie Ken McKenzie 8 Duke Carmel Jay Hook =orange](-10) 7 Pumpsie Green Choo Choo Coleman =orange](-6) 6 Don Rowe Pumpsie Green =orange](-1) 5 Jimmy Piersall Jimmy Piersall 4 Chico Fernandez Chico Fernandez 3 Hawk Taylor Sammy Taylor (Hawk didn't appear until '64) 2 Cliff Cook Cliff Cook 1 Norm Sherry Norm Sherry

OK, we have a minor crisis here. Which is the authentic table? OE: On first glance, mine looks like it was culled from JG's 40-man list above.

Assume that yours is correct.

I usually don't get into the rankings, even though I saw every Mets team play. But here are some things about that 1963 season that you might find interesting: The Mets search for a regular third baseman throughout their history has been oft mentioned. The thread above mentions Jim Hickman, and he is rated highly. But does anyone remember that Hickman played the second most games at third for the Mets that year? He played 59 games there, and had a fielding pct of .914 (not good). Charlie Neal, who most think of as a second baseman, played 66 games at third in 1963, and had a .963 fielding pct. To put that into perspective, a player remembered as one of the best fielding third baseman ever, the Yankees' Cletis Boyer, had a .954 fielding percentage that same year. Later

Why are all these getting re-done?

Edgy MD Dec 04 2006 09:11 PM

They're not. Knot is just posting them as tables to confirm that we all have the same list. We generally do, we didn't for 1963.
