My goodness I hate MLB.com video.  Can. not. get. it. to. run.  

But I love our man Seager.  Brooks Robinson, in '65 at 28:  .297-.351-.445   Seager, in '16 at 28, .286-.361-.511.  124 OPS vs. 137.  OK< Brooks had a 145 the season before....but our guy meets and beats him at the plate.

From '61-'64 Robinson STARTED 162, 162, 158 and 163 games.  Seager is nearly as durable.

Our guy hasn't had his '70 World Series moment (remember it well) but I will guarantee you that every GM in the game knows just how good Kyle Seager is.  Fans in Detroit or Philly?  Bah!

Funny though, I don't have any memories of Robinson until the '69 Series.  Miracle Mets, of course.  He was 32 by then.  I imagine some Seattle kid's first memories of Robby Cano were last year.  He was 32.  Same thing.

Back on the win train.  Choo Choo!! (and not Coleman.  Died on Monday.  RIP.  Either 78 or 80, depending on which birthday you want to believe. He had played in Spokane in '61, PCL.  I only remember him from stories of the expansion Mets)

Go team.
