Longevity coupled with dominance puts him in as a first ballot HOF. But I thought that even before the 3rd no no.

I've watched the vast majority of his starts, until the last few yrs with the Astros, but there have been numerous times he has gone deep in games before giving up a late hit. Just about every time he took the ball for 12.5 yrs it felt like there was a chance for something special and it was an amazing ride watching him in the Old English D.

A lifetime ERA around 3.3 and even lower in the postseason. All of this during the juiced ball and steroid era.

As the Tigers announcers would always say, "JV is must see TV"
