Deacon Phillippe, no HOF?

I have noticed that some pitchers with less wins, and higher ERAs then Deacon, and are in the Hall of Fame. Why is that? |

I think this is a case of longevity. His first 7 - 8 years were nice, but wow, look at the end of his career. He simply didn't play too long. His complete games are nice, but so was everyone else's during that era. |

Sam Leever of that same Pittsburgh team had better numbers. |

Deacon is one of my favorite deadball players. Outside of being a class act, he has one of the (if not the lowest) lowest walks per nine inning averages of all time. He also won the first ever World Series game. He was just a few victories shy of 200 when he retired. That might have made the difference if he had reached that milestone. Leever, as mentioned by John, also deserves consideration. |

There is always been a lot of strong support for Phillippe from SABRites. He was basically the anchor of the great Pirates teams and certainly worthy of HOF consideration but highly unlikely that he'll get in given the current Vet Committee standards. |
