During the 1960s, which has been the best player of major league?

The Decade of the 1960s who was the best player of major league? We will find out by taking a look at a few major offensive categories.


Once again, we are going only to look at every day players. We can decide who the best pitcher was another time. And this will also be based on hitting. All these players were huge defensive players.


We will start with the big one. Who hit the most home runs in the 1960s? It may surprise you to learn that Harmon Killebrew made. Killer went deep 393 times. Henry Aaron was just behind him with 375 distributed round and Willie Mays was third in the Decade, with 350 home runs. Frank Robinson added 316.


Another important to look at category is runs flows into. Hank Aaron has opened the way by hitting in 1 107 runs during the 1960s. Killebrew was second with deserters and Frank Robinson was third with 1 011. Mays led in 1,003 runs in the 1960s and Roberto Clemente was 862.


Clemente had the most hits in the decade with 1,877. Aaron comes in second position with 1819 hits. Brooks Robinson collected 1,692 hits of the 1960s and Mays had 1 635.


Now take a blow of eye-batting average. Again, Clemente has above average batting a.328 during the 1960s. Pete Rose followed second at.309 and Aaron still at.308. Frank Robinson for ten years and Mays hit.300 batted.304.


Return number of power. Slugging percentage. Hank Aaron was the first at.565 followed by Frank Robinson with.560. Slugged.559 Mays and Killebrew finished fourth with a.546 slugging percentage.


Brooks Robinson played in the but games in the 1960s. It is the first. Aaron was second playing the Games 1 540 followed by Ron Santo and Mays.


The last thing we will examine is runs scored. Hank Aaron marked more by crossing plate 1091 times during the 1960s. Willie Mays was second with 1 050 runs. Frank Robinson registered 1,013 times and 916 Clemente.


While we here have. Eight offensive categories Hank Aaron and Willie Mays are the only players in all categories. But Frank Robinson and Harmon Killebrew had a pretty good decade, too. And, of course, Roberto Clemente has the most success and the best batting average.


And also, Frank Robinson won two Most Valuable Player Awards in the 1960s. One in each League. It is the only player to win the MVP trophy in the two leagues.
And each of these players are in the Hall of Fame Baseball.


Based on this but, I think that it must be concluded that Hammerin Henry Aaron was the best player in the Decade of the 1960s. I know secretly as a fan of Roberto Clemente long life that it was better. But for the moment, we are going with Aaron.

Start your own Fantasy Baseball League

The Commissioner for a fantasy baseball league is not an easy task. The hours are long. You manage often a bunch of crybabies. And wages: it sucks.


Hopefully you'll get the rules so that there is no possible disputes in the season, you have the rule, but there is always a guy looking for a loophole in the rules to take advantage of. It is, of course, a game of dots, so why should not be leaders look for ways to maximize their points. It is up to you to create a set of rules that attempt to cover all possible situations that occur. Not easy.


Here are some of the decisions, a Commissioner needs to make when you start a League.


I think its always a good idea to have a cash prize. Secure, winning the league trophy and bragging rights are important, but there is nothing motivates fantasy baseball managers through a long season than a cash prize.


Cash price should not only be for first place. Give cash prizes for the entire first half of the League. If a manger falls early, they have an incentive to get involved and try to move to fifth place in a ten team league.


How much money is the issue. The amount of money invested per player will depend on how wealthy friends in the league. It should be enough to keep them interested, but not so much that they start hating you, if you make a decision as Commissioner to cost them more than just a night out with their wife or girlfriend. Consider about $ 100-$ 300 per manager.


LEAGUE SIZE AND DEPTH


It is not often that you can get a group of more than 10 into a League. It is useful if you have 20 or more in a League, but it is really a lot of work and hard to assemble.


Get cash up front or you want to see the team disappear in the week before the draft. Who plays havoc with Commissioners and many leagues is abandoned at the last moment of precisely this reason.


It has always been my opinion that a League, is profoundly more fun than one where the teams are comprised of all all stars. All are familiar with Derek Jeter and A-Rod. A true test is to find out who knows about Dustin Moseley and Francisco Cervelli. (A deep league is someone who has almost as many fantasy team as real-life teams so that teams must be stocked with both starters and reserves from MLB).


Really get a deep league together, you will often have to decide whether to make the National League or American only-only League.


THE POINTS SYSTEM


In the early years of fantasy baseball, was the original 4 x 4 League invented as the norm. Keep track of 8 statistical categories was about everything a League Commissioner could handle if he does not have a job at IBM.


Today, however, with the spread of the State Internet services, you do an almost unlimited amount of statistical categories. Some services will even keep track of balks you!


Add a category like CATEGORY SPACES will make your league more life to the real game of baseball. Reduced men overlooked usually in fantasy baseball, seems sensible statistical category. As for sacrifice bunts, balks or I will leave that to them to decide.


While have oddball statistical categories can be fun, usually more is less.


TO LEADER LIGÆR OR POINT LIGÆR


There is certainly something to say to both the leader and point leagues, so this is a personal decision. One of the advantages of leader leagues is to seem to keep players motivated, they want to turn off their comrades, even if it means playing spoiler late in the season. It is also better reflects the true baseball, but it goes against traditional fantasy baseball leagues cereals.


With Commander leagues, vibrations can occur every week, just as in real games. Better managers and better team win not always every week as a weaker team can get hot. During the long season, however, want better teams and leaders victories in a points league.


Daily or weekly LINEUP changes


Some leagues allow for daily lineup changes. This is almost too much work for busy guys. It means you numregenerator players and out every day and take advantage of days, potential rainouts and special sequences for the night.


Regardless of how much of a fantasy baseball nerd you are, it is almost too much over a 6 month season. You do not want to be responsible for a divorce.


Weekly Shift leagues be more sensible, but educate potential question of starting pitcher streaming (where a manager uses 2 starting pitchers this week on his starting lineup). Frankly, I think 2 starting pitcher streaming is an interesting addition to a fantasy baseball leagues, so I would recommend the possibility of weekly lineup changes.


If you have a group of friends who are reliable and at least half of them will return to the next season, perhaps a keeper league makes sense for you. Most leagues allow for up to 15 users from year to year; Some may be as few as 3 per year.


You will always have the conveyor belt in leaders each year. Gives fewer users from one year to the next will promote new blood in your league so keep users to a minimum from year to year seems to be the most sensible.


The draft--Auction or Snake draft


It is a different decision based on the commitment and experience of your players. An auction draft is more complicated and will require further preparation to your leaders, but in the end its more fun and adds a new element in relation to the draft process. Make an auction draft, you must almost be in the same room with all the other leaders, which makes it online or by telephone would be a long and difficult process.


The draft is not an auction for each League, but if you can drag it off, it is clearly more fun.


It is inevitable that you will some controversy over the rules. You can not think of everything. While it is ideal to have a Commissioner who is not the owner of a team in the League, is unrealistic and rarely is there a knowledgeable person willing to be involved, without the need to have a team in the League.


To put things up for a vote will only make things worse. When controversy arrives, search everyone's opinion and then rely on a group of 3 of the most experienced and fair managers to be your advisory board, and then make your decision. Not everyone will like it, but in the end, the Commissioner shall decide.
