    He's playing in the Mexican Leagues, where he belongs. He plays with reckless abandon and that was/is his downfall. His mental state is just not right!

    I only know of one, with no clue on the other 3 Pitchers.

    The only one I can recollect was Bullet Bob Feller. If I'm not mistaken Joe owned Feller, and Joe hit more HR's, RBI's, Doubles and I believe had the highest B'avg vs Feller.

    At a sports memorabilia convention in the mid-80s, which had both DiMaggio and Feller in attendance, saw Feller being razzed by Joe's posse, all in good fun. I was hearing, "if you had to face Joe every game, then you'd not be in the HOF, or- if you had to face Joe more often, Joe might have hit .400 too.... etc etc...

    Off the top of my head... What is the maturing, or coming of age: aka Mike Trout steals Miggy Cabrera's Thunder or-Dethroning of 2014-. Trout AL MVP / AS- MVP.
    (After coming in 2nd behind Cabrera the 2 prior 2yrs).

    Trout was the MVP in Jeter's last A.S. Game.

    Only other one I can think of- Griffey Jr when he hit a HR off of Maddox 1992, then some
    Jr had several hits, 2 or 3for XBH

    Not sure on their ages? @ 22?

    It's got to be Ted Williams or Joe DiMaggio. I'm going with Ted Williams.
