Traded to Boston in December 1980, in 1981 Lansford became the first righthanded hitter since 1970 to lead the AL in hitting (.336). He went to Oakland in December 1982 in a deal for Tony Armas. A superb fielder despite a lack of range, Carney appeared headed to first base until the emergence of Mark McGwire. Slowed by wrist and ankle injuries in 1983 and a broken right wrist in 1985, the streaky Lansford was healthy over the next four years and was usually the leadoff or number-two hitter. He stole a career-high 29 bases in 1988 and was second in the AL with a .336 batting average as Oakland won AL pennants both years. A quietly intense player, Lansford became recognized as a team leader on the Athletics.
Carney's younger brother Jody Lansford played 25 games for the Padres in 1982-83. (ME)

Yogi Berra with his wonderful quotes:
"Baseball Is 90% Mental. The Other Half is Physical"
"This is like deja vu all over again"Coarse edged youth, the irish pendants string from their smiles
not yet plucked as to slacken the seams
and drag down the features of age,
no folds or creases from unkempt wear
eyes of tranquilty, crystalline-beads
no sign of despair in their hair, nor their hearts
but oh they have yet to be experienced and that makes aging so very worth it...ML circa2012

Joltin' Joe Dimaggio!
56-Game hitting streak still going strong. No one has even come close.
Too bad he didn't get that deal with Heinz 57, what a bummer.

Great player, I can remember when he played for the Mets at the tailend of his career. Originally Posted by Pepper

If I had an all team Schmidt would be my Third baseman. Charlie Hustle would also be on it. Reggie would definitely play in October. Originally Posted by fantasma62
