63 Wade Boggs & Tony Gwynn

Baseball Beyond Batting Average

In the latest in their Second Look series, Mark and Andy dive into the careers of Wade Boggs and Tony Gwynn to try to better understand the two players who became synonymous with batting titles in the '80s and '90s. Both were hailed as excellent players during their time, so what can we learn? Advanced stats shed some light on just how excellent they were, and allow us to evaluate their all-around game. The hosts wrap it up with another round of Roll The Stat, the greatest advanced stat guessing game developed in the last decade, in which they guess career wOBAs of other former batting champs. It will be the best two hours you spend this week.
