John Kalafarski There are 7 non-pitchers who are the gods of baseball: Ruth, Williams, Cobb, Mays, Wagner, Mantle, Dimaggio (I need more research to come up with the gods of pitching, but I suspect that Johnson, Grove, Matty, Grover, Sandy, Pedro would be right up there.). Putting in guys like "No touch" Maz does in no way diminish the very great. By the way, when Diz came along he was the biggest thing in baseball and it was his hard luck to get hurt when he did; longevity is way overrated. If a player is great and gets hurt, he's still great. Tony C was one of those. If you want to get sick over who belongs in the HOF, wait until the steroid guys get in.
