	George Foster (baseball player) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		George Arthur Foster (born December 1, 1948, in Tuscaloosa, Alabama) is a former left fielder and right-handed batter in Major League Baseball who played for the San Francisco Giants, Cincinnati Reds, New York Mets and Chicago White Sox from 1969-1986.
		In 1977, Foster hit 52 home runs, making him the only major league player to belt 50 or more homers in a single season during a 25-year period (between Willie Mays with 52 in 1965 and Cecil Fielder with 51 in 1990).
		Foster steadily became a reclusive clubhouse pariah who received his outright release in August 1986 after he accused the Mets of racism for benching him (the Mets' greatest players of the time, it should be noted -- Doc Gooden and Daryl Strawberry -- were both african american athletes).

	Baseball - Page#3
		Baseball is not necessarily an obsessive-compulsive disorder, like washing your hands 100 times a day, but it's beginning to seem that way.
		Baseball is a game dominated by vital ghosts; it's a fraternity, like no other we have of the active and the no longer so, the living and the dead.
		Baseball is a harbor, a seclusion from failure that really matters, a playful utopia in which virtuosity can be savored to the third decimal place of a batting average.

	George Foster - Statistics - The Baseball Cube (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		A player with a centile of 15 means that 15% of the players have a higher salary.
		A glut of players will be making the minimum and so it is unfair to represent some of these players within the range of 80 to 100 when they all earn the same.
		The true formula of the centile is to count the number of players with a posted salary during the season and divide by 100.
