One of the accolades you left off was he was national player of the year this year.
Man.... one of my personal favorite to play for MoverS.
Hope he has a helluva MLB career.
With what he accomplished, he will be looked at as the GOAT one day soon. Hard to not say he is, just need a little time to pass as the legend grows.Quote:

TA had so many clutch hits that I can?t remember them all. He also carried the team offensively most of the season.
Mangum was a great player but not the GOAT. If TA has good MLB career, there will be a third statue in front of the Dude. I say put his statue in the right field plaza somewhere. Thunder and Lightnin started it and deserve main entrance like it is.Quote:
