[FloydtheBarber]

If you include 2000

What? Why WOULDNT you?

[Jeffy25]

uhhh

Well decades TECHNICALLY are 2000-2009, but some would argue and thus why I said that.

some people will argue that a decade is actually 2001-2010.

Doesn't really matter, I just remember someone on here arguing if the year 2000 should be included or not.

I thought it was HGM

[Jeffy25]

If you count 2000, Bonds by his 2000 production.
If you start in 2001, Pujols by his production this year.
ARod is a close 3rd.

Or I guess it was SirK

oh I know, technically, the new Millennium and century started on Jan. 1, 2001. But everything I know and can find seems to state a decade is 2000-2009

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decade

The term usually refers to a period of ten years starting with 0 and ending in 9. For example, "the 1950s" refers to 1950 through to 1959 (inclusive)

however, if we're talking centuries;

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Century

According to the Gregorian calendar, the 1st century AD started on January 1, 1 and ended on December 31, 100. The 2nd century started at year 101, the third at 201, etc. The n-th century started/will start on the year 100×n - 99. A century will only include one year, the centennial year, that starts with the century's number (e.g. 1900 is the final year in the 19th century).

Yes, he has.

[FloydtheBarber]

Now that somebody's accused him, it's true.

I second this. Sorry dude, Albert used them pretty heavily, he admitted last year

[Jeffy25]

Would you rather have Griffey up until the age of 30, or Pujols?

[200tang]

Pujols. Although, if someone said Griffey it wouldn't be crazy. Griffey gives you 2 extra years, better base running and plays the harder position.
