who played in cozy Shay, who in the expanses of humid Busch?
Carter .262 average, Simmons .285
Carter .335 OBP, Simmons .348
Carter .439 slugging, Simmons .437 ballparks...
who was it that remained in baseball, respected for his knowledge of the game????
Now 3 things occur to me...
1. Gary Carter got in because of New York media and bias and prejudice and ignorance...
2. And the real focus of this thread is that 17 got in, Buck wasn't one of them, the Hall is for baseball, not just white baseball, that I still think Buck should go in before some of the 17, that the Hall has long ago become diluted with the likes of ________ and _______.
And 3. Maybe Buck will reap the greater share of glory if he's inducted separately, soon, and while still alive enough to enjoy it.
Peace.
