2. Wow this genuinely is insane. 

3. Sure but in his prime Jimmy Carter could go from first to third in 3.9 seconds. He was a Punch and Judy hitter but a terror on the base paths

4. Barry Bonds hit more homer runs during Jimmy carters lifetime than any active player today

   Edit:762

6. That’s fucked up

7. Oh back to back jimmy carter post probably means

9. Ruth hit all of these after he turned 30. Kind of insane that Mr. Beer and Hot Dogs had an aging curve that let him play to 40

10. Batting against plumbers.

11. 93.49% of every home run ever hit in major-league history, 1876-present, was hit during Carter’s lifetime.

    EDIT: since everyone is wondering, using 1876 as the epoch for major-league history, there was a person who was alive for 100% of all home runs ever hit (and all strikeouts, and all SBs, etc) until August 4, 1997. That was Jeanne Calment, the oldest known person ever, who was born in 1875.

12. I love random baseball stats

13. Good one….

14. Barry Bonds is a thing… as is Willie Mays, Hank Aaron, Pujols, Mantle… weird post, this…

15. I think OP means Stanton. Judge does not have that many.
