I play 20K hands and it's a grind. Statistically, it's a short time. A player only needs around 500 PA to qualify for the title.

Regardless of scheduling Hogan couldn't play in the PGA. 36 hole matches back in the day and no carts or phony Supreme Court decision allowing spots in competitive sports. Hogan had a lot of trouble playing the 7 or so 72 hole events he played in 53. The playoff he lost at Olympic in 54 or 55 or whenever was also difficult. 36 holes after 72 was torture for him. He couldn't walk or see well after all the vascular surgery.

not really understanding how you are comparing playing hands online and playing day in and day out with nagging injuries and 100 degree heat...but convince yourself you know better cause that will make you happier

since you have all of gretsky's stats, how did his career +-stack up against some contemporaries? Like Lemieux. Did they keep +- back in the day? I have never looked at this myself, but have heard gretsky's offensive stats mask some liabilities.

A gambling forum with no mention of Pete Rose.

no use talking to people like you...putting words in my mouth and not understanding how hard people work to get where they are...you want sample size?? jeff zimmerman who pitched for the texas rangers and had a great "one" year, but nobody knows the road it took for him to get there spending his time bouncing from organizational ball to independant ball till his late twenties and you want to discredit them (anderson, loaiza) and say it is a fluke??? instead of being so easy to say "that guy had a lucky year," why dont you aknowledge the fact that he spent his sample size below the major leagues and it finally came together for that one special year which makes their dreams come true. and please dont put words in my mouth and try to assume like you know me...i simply stated that 162 games is not short no matter how you look at it, it is the reason why hitting .400 is so difficult and that's a fact.
so in short dont act like you know about something when you dont [censored].

This whole thread should have stuck to track, field or wightlifting. The other records involve luck.
