Hey, we're not there yet! If he goes 0 for his next 48, he'll be at .300!

No longer relevant to thread title any more, of course. Just recording the amazing here.
4 for 4 tonight with 2 HR's, bringing his average up to .337 for the year. Who is this guy?

Pretty incredible for a 36 year-old catcher I must admit.

Agreed.
Even though sometimes he is criticized for being an "average deffensive catcher", I think he is a very good catcher with the great offensive ability. And the fact that he has catched the great pitchers like Clemens, Cone, Johnson, Rivera...., for the Yankees, makes him very special. (I think it can be very hard sometime, to be a catcher for the pitchers like them. They could be the most self-centered people on the planet time to time.) He is a great player, who deserves to be at least considered for HOF.

I think there may be some foul play involved.

No. I didn't do anything. It was a joke.

Actually I was banned a couple days ago, I just came back under an alias that happens to be the exact same screen name and I've made approximately 900 posts in less than 24 hours.

A great catcher putting up the final touches on his HOF resume.

You mean your library card? Maybe you should start a movement: when Posada gets elected to the HOF, everyone gives their library cards back to the library. It would be baffling and nonsensical, as life should be.

I had a really funny reply to this but it would have gotten me banned.

Nah, it was mean and probably not that funny, upon reflection.
