As for Musials speed, he played in ballparks that were much larger than what we see in today’s game. Many of these ballparks had enormous outfields (power ally’s that were 400 plus, center fields that were 450 plus. Yet the lines were 270. That was the beauty of these ballparks, how asymmetrical they were. So Musial just exploited the dimensions of many of these ballparks to his benefit. So quit whining about something as superfluous as Musials speed attribute.
All people can do is hurl insults and try to silence people from voicing legitimate criticisms by making appeals to some sort of macho idea of “not whining.” It isn’t whining to want to know how they came up with the speed attribute.
And by the way, Musial played half his games at Sportsman Park. That park was not big at all.
Go grunt on another thread, tough guy.
Tough guy??? Who the efff are you??? I didn’t make any threatening remarks and yet you respond like that. I simply pointed out facts and I never called anybody a name. Whether you want to believe the facts (ball parks during his era were larger and far more asymmetrical than current ones, that is a fact) is on you. How about you actually do your research before actually attacking others. And sportsman’s park was 420 to centerfield for your information. A slow catcher could get a triple to that part of the ballpark. So shut your whining mouth kid.
Now I’m scared. At first I thought you chose your own profile name but now I realize it was a title you have earned.
Lol.
Beat it, kid.
Yep that’s the response I expect from people like you. When others present facts to someone like you, you just try to yell over the top of them and call them names and continue screaming. Please cry some more while I laugh at the absolute absurdity of this troll post.
All the while you've dodged actual fact driven posts for the sake of carrying on some personal vendetta out of spite.
Presenting the use of facts, without actually presenting any, does not bode well for increasing the appearance of one's intelligence.
The hill you want to die on (Stadium Size) actually hurts your argument that Stan should be slower. All these legends older than Stan played in parks the same size or bigger

Musial hit triples and doubles at a higher clip than Babe as well as a higher steal rate success. Why does babe then have 60 speed compared to Stan’s 47? Doesn’t really add up
My guess is that the stolen base didn’t become an integral part of the game until the late 40’s. Which coincides with the period of time that Stan Musial was playing. Ruth had long since retired by this time.

Stolen bases not integral before the 40s? You follow baseball at all? Single season stolen base leaders are still filled with players from the 1880s.

You're joking right? Babe Ruth changed the game from bunts, steals, slap singles etc. to hitting HRs. Before Babe Ruth players would have double or triple the amount of steals to HRs hit.

Not sure if this was posted in any previous threads on the topic, but this got me intrigued and I found this an Interesting article:
https://blogs.fangraphs.com/stan-musial-hit-the-heck-out-of-some-triples/
Their research puts his speed as average for today, slightly above average for his era.

Dude prior to the 1940’s a stolen base was classified as any extra base taken other than a single. So a person was credited with a stolen base if he hit a double. And was credited with 2 stolen bases if they hit a triple. That’s why stolen base records are modified to modern day based on this fact. What an unbelievable forum. Wow we have some real winners in this forum

Good article but it didn’t explain why he had just as many triples on the road where ballpark dimensions weren’t as favorable for hitting triples as his home ball park. Stan really was the ultimate outlier when it came to xbh

So Babe Ruth who played prior to 1940, had 44 doubles and 16 triples in 1921. He had 17 SBs. I can do this with every season of his.

Here are some facts on classic ball parks. You’ll see that sizes of ball parks prior to the cookie cutters of the 70’s and 80’s and current stadiums pale in comparison. And due to the asymmetrical nature of these stadiums it made for some interesting hitting situations. The only stadium that has a comparable centerfield to many of the classic stadiums is Comerica in Detroit (420 to dead center) and AT&T in San Francisco (421 to triples ally right center field gap)

Now, read the rule changes in 1898 and 1904. Spoiler alert, those changed the definition of a Stolen Base to what we use today.
Granted double and triple steals weren't addressed until 1910 and
Defensive indifference didn't arrive until 1920. -

You're dense and I can see that. Let's take this slowly here. If Stan Musial has similar stats to Ruth, Gehrig,and Foxx while playing in similarly sized stadiums, how does Musial have 50 speed and the others are over 60?

And was credited with 2 stolen bases if they hit a triple. That’s why stolen base records are modified to modern day based on this fact. What an unbelievable forum. Wow we have some real winners in this forum
So Babe Ruth who played prior to 1940, had 44 doubles and 16 triples in 1921. He had 17 SBs. I can do this with every season of his.
And you can do this because there is video proof of this. Those guys in the 1800’s don’t have that proof bud that’s why the stats are so skewed. It’s really that simple. The record books can make the case for just about every babe Ruth stat.

As for Musials speed, he played in ballparks that were much larger than what we see in today’s game. Many of these ballparks had enormous outfields (power ally’s that were 400 plus, center fields that were 450 plus. Yet the lines were 270. That was the beauty of these ballparks, how asymmetrical they were. So Musial just exploited the dimensions of many of these ballparks to his benefit. So quit whining about something as superfluous as Musials speed attribute.
All people can do is hurl insults and try to silence people from voicing legitimate criticisms by making appeals to some sort of macho idea of “not whining.” It isn’t whining to want to know how they came up with the speed attribute.
And by the way, Musial played half his games at Sportsman Park. That park was not big at all.
Go grunt on another thread, tough guy.
Tough guy??? Who the efff are you??? I didn’t make any threatening remarks and yet you respond like that. I simply pointed out facts and I never called anybody a name. Whether you want to believe the facts (ball parks during his era were larger and far more asymmetrical than current ones, that is a fact) is on you. How about you actually do your research before actually attacking others. And sportsman’s park was 420 to centerfield for your information. A slow catcher could get a triple to that part of the ballpark. So shut your whining mouth kid.
Now I’m scared. At first I thought you chose your own profile name but now I realize it was a title you have earned.

The hill you want to die on (Stadium Size) actually hurts your argument that Stan should be slower. All these legends older than Stan played in parks the same size or bigger

Here are some facts on classic ball parks. You’ll see that sizes of ball parks prior to the cookie cutters of the 70’s and 80’s and current stadiums pale in comparison. And due to the asymmetrical nature of these stadiums it made for some interesting hitting situations. The only stadium that has a comparable centerfield to many of the classic stadiums is Comerica in Detroit (420 to dead center) and AT&T in San Francisco (421 to triples ally right center field gap)
You're dense and I can see that. Let's take this slowly here. If Stan Musial has similar stats to Ruth, Gehrig,and Foxx while playing in similarly sized stadiums, how does Musial have 50 speed and the others are over 60?
I guess you have zero understanding of analytics so I will no longer respond to your ignorance. Have a nice day complaining about a video game that slights a player that you believe is some sort of sneaky speed demon. Lol

What analytical data is available for any of the mentioned legends? You have statcast sprint speeds from the early 1900's to 1940's?

Musial hit triples and doubles at a higher clip than Babe as well as a higher steal rate success. Why does babe then have 60 speed compared to Stan’s 47? Doesn’t really add up
My guess is that the stolen base didn’t become an integral part of the game until the late 40’s. Which coincides with the period of time that Stan Musial was playing. Ruth had long since retired by this time.
Stolen bases not integral before the 40s? You follow baseball at all? Single season stolen base leaders are still filled with players from the 1880s.

Wow we have some real winners in this forum
If that’s the case, then there wouldn’t be a category for doubles and triples prior to 1940 and there certainly are those categories. So I smell BS.
But, even if what you’re saying is true (and it could be, idk. I just doubt it), does that make the case for Musial being faster or slower than his 47 rating? Think about it before you answer...

Nah. Chuck flamed you on the ballparks. And then he flamed you on the rules prior to 1940 regarding doubles, triples, and stolen bases. You have to walk away because you have no answer to his presented facts. It’s cool, though. I told you a long time ago to beat it.
And for the record, no one, especially Chuck, called for Musial to be a speed demon. I’m saying he should be faster than he currently is rated; at least equal to guys like Ruth, Gehrig, and Foxx who Musial, by every measure we have available to us, generally outperformed those guys when it comes to on-field achievements that require running fast.

Pretty weak.
I think I proved that Stan Musial should have a higher speed attribute. My guy has more triples than anyone born in the 20th century. The only people with more triples than Stan are guys that played on fields with no fences. Then SDS disrespects him with 47 speed. Not even fast enough to hit a triple in any park but Polo. Lol
People said triples and stolen bases weren’t really about speed, though. Ummm, okay....
Then Mookie steals a few bases in the post season, and he goes from 62 speed to 72 speed for his Finest card (75 after prestige).
Now JV had less than top notch velo and people complained so SDS changed it.
Whack. No consistency.
If you could get Stan musials son to publicly complain via twitter and @ sds then you might have a chance. However reality is your just a plebeian to them and you don’t really matter. Not saying I agree but that’s the difference, Verls bro posting on Twitter is the only reason it was changed not the 100 posts on tsn or all the complaints on their social media accounts
This right here. Sds wants to please public figures more than make changes bc of the community. Honestly things like the fielding and increased exit velo probably wouldn’t have been improved nearly as much if it wasn’t for sds listening to the content creators, this just seems to be the way it is more than not.
well yeah welcome to corporate America. Look at everything sds does. It caters to whomever will give them bad publicity. A big content creator would fit that bill. Percieved twitter mob would also be enough. That means bots would have to be involved.

Musial was faster than babe and all those guys by quite a bit yet he is slower than babe and foxx in game. From what i can tell is that you are trying to compare it to today's players by comparing stadiums but musial isn't faster than today's players. I don't anyone thinks he is as fast as a mookie betts or a trout but again he is faster than ruth. His speed should be higher. How they figure old time guys speed is a mystery that probably should be explained.

There is no evidence to support their claim that Musial is in fact faster than the players they mention. Using stats from then to now is not evidence it’s anecdotal which by its nature is not evidence. I can make the claim that Gary Sheffield was pretty fast however his stolen base attempts don’t suggest this. Neither does his career doubles or triples also don’t support this claim hence the term anecdotal. We certainly can’t make a claim that Musial was faster than Babe as they didn’t play in the same era and I’m quite sure they never had a foot race. Sourcing stats like triples and doubles doesn’t make a quality argument. Maybe Babe didn’t try to stretch a double into a triple when he had the opportunity to or maybe he was instructed by his coaches to not try to do such things based on the team’s philosophy regarding this stuff. Or personal preferences. It’s just not a legitimate argument. I can only conclude that stadium size probably had a lot to do with Stans ability to leg out as many triples as he did. But it certainly doesn’t prove who was a faster player.

I don't anyone thinks he is as fast as a mookie betts or a trout but again he is faster than ruth. His speed should be higher. How they figure old time guys speed is a mystery that probably should be explained.
There is no evidence to support their claim that Musial is in fact faster than the players they mention. Using stats from then to now is not evidence it’s anecdotal which by its nature is not evidence. I can make the claim that Gary Sheffield was pretty fast however his stolen base attempts don’t suggest this. Neither does his career doubles or triples also don’t support this claim hence the term anecdotal. We certainly can’t make a claim that Musial was faster than Babe as they didn’t play in the same era and I’m quite sure they never had a foot race. Sourcing stats like triples and doubles doesn’t make a quality argument. Maybe Babe didn’t try to stretch a double into a triple when he had the opportunity to or maybe he was instructed by his coaches to not try to do such things based on the team’s philosophy regarding this stuff. Or personal preferences. It’s just not a legitimate argument. I can only conclude that stadium size probably had a lot to do with Stans ability to leg out as many triples as he did. But it certainly doesn’t prove who was a faster player.
I don’t think you know what “anecdotal” means.
If I were to say, “Musial hit more triples than Babe Ruth, and therefore all players from the 1940s were faster than players in the 1920s,” that would be anecdotal evidence and therefore, not evidence to support the claim.
Comparing two or more players directly is not anecdotal. The distance between bases were the same in Ruth’s day as they were in Musial’s. They played in similar ballparks, or even smaller for Musial. It isn’t anecdotal. It’s a fair comparison and the stats don’t lie.
