My 2007 High School California Stadium Name

[jerrycapo]

I am working on creating a 2007 league that uses a HS Feeder with a team for every state in the continental United States. I have decided to name the home stadiums after the best baseball player that was born in the state. Some states have a clear front runner while others have 2 or more equal players.

The state I would like to have debated next is California which is narrowed down to 2 players, Ted Williams and Joe DiMaggio. Please let me know who you think is best to name the stadium after.

Poll Forthcoming.

California has had a lot of great players including 19 that are in the hall of fame. Rickey was a great ballplayer, but Ted Williams and Joltin Joe were the tops among Californians. It is hard to leave so many out, but I wanted a way to give my HS Feeder some depth other than stats.

Greatest leadoff hitter ever, career leader in steals and runs scored.

Everybody knows how great Joe D. and Teddy Ballgame were. If you wanna add depth, pick some players who are all-time greats but not quite as well known.

Barry Bonds is probably the best player out of California

Eliminate the word "probably", add a period or exclamation point for emphasis, and the above is a correct statement.

Ted Williams is the best Mexican player from California, or any state for that matter, of all-time.

Barry Bonds is probably a steroid-enhanced cheater.

Reverse this for a true statement.

So then you're saying it should be:

Add the word "probably", subtract a period or exclamation point for emphasis, and the above is a false statement?

or are you saying it should be this:

Statement correct a is above the and emphasis, for point exclamation or period a add "probably", word the eliminate?

Both make about the same amount of sense.

Nah, he said reverse "this". He's saying that Bonds is a Sith Lord. Duh!

Well now, that makes a lot more sense. Thanks for clearing it up for me.
