Gilbert, very nice piece, but Mac still doesn't belong. He was soooooo deficient in so many other areas of the game. He is basically Dave Kingman with more power. At least Kingman could play other positions. During his career he spent time at 3B and OF besides 1B and he even pitched 4 innings of a game one time.

Mac did have a lot to do with revitializing the game at a time when it was hurting, but this doesn't warrent a place in the HOF. He was and is the epitome of the one dimensional player and they have no place in an already waterdowned HOF.

The HOF is for the greatest of the great. Players that can do more than just one thing.

I like to sit outside, drink beer and yell at people. If I did this at home I would be arrested, so I go to baseball games and fit right in.
