When I was a young boy I read a book on how to hit a baseball, written (supposedly) by Stan Musial. It had a picture of the Man himself on the cover.
I don’t remember much about it, but I do recall that it had a section on how to bunt. Even at my young age I wondered why Stan knew or cared about bunting.
As an adult, I checked. My youthful intuition was confirmed. Over 22 years, 3026 games and 12721 PAs, Stan had 35 SHs.

It is at this point that I reveal my method for choosing players... I just do a search at #BaseballReference (do they have a Masto account yet?), where you can enter any jersey number and can specify a certain year or all years.... I simply pick the highest bWAR from 2022. So Erasmo Ramirez was the best #61 in MLB last year. A fitting legacy from the famous #61 for the #Nationals Livan Hernandez.
