Jeff,



On the flip side, as 2-way players, Dawson had 8 gold gloves (with a rifle arm), Murphy had 5 compared to zero for Rice. Dawson also had over 300 steals. For what it's worth, I think Rice was a great player as well and should go into the Hall, I just don't understand why Dawson and Murphy and some other players from that era get so little recognition.

Edited to add: While he may not have had as many 100+ RBI seasons, Dawson ended up with close to 1600 RBIs, which is no small feat.
