Whew! I was getting worried there for a minute.
But Tiger shoots 66 in the final round of the Grand Slam to once again
blow away the field.
The worst part of it was having to sit through Jim Huber's sappy piece
about whether Tiger was the greatest athlete of all-time.
BTW, Huber made the statement that Pete Rose was the greatest hitter of
all-time, but Derek Jeter was "far better in October when it counts."
For the record, Rose's lifetime postseason average is .321 to Jeter's
.314. However, Jeter does have a higher average if you just count World
Series games. In 12 seasons Jeter is just over halfway to Rose's
career # of hits. Call me in another 12 years, Huber. Next he'll be
claiming that Reggie Jackson was a better slugger than Ruth, Aaron, or
Bonds.

Ruth, Aaron, and Bonds were three of the greatest 4 sluggers of all time,
but Reggie Jackson was "far better in October when it counts".

That was seriously creepy. At best those comparisons are completely
meaningless. What are they thinking?

This doesn't count. Non-official events can count against him if he
finishes second, but not for him if he wins.

Wait! Let me say it before Bellomy does!!
Pete Rose = Not only the Hit King, but also the Out King!!!
(He's made more outs than anyone in the history of the game! Of
course, he's also had a billion more at bats than anyone in the
history of the game but we'll ignore that fact because it doesn't
support our argument.)
