Odoul heresy
I wonder if the folks who want to see Lefty inducted are prepared for the hundreds of players who would have to follow logically from it.
We could start with Josh Hamilton whose career is super similar. Check out the counting stats. Lefty had about four really nice years playing in the best hitters park in baseball history in the best hitters era in baseball history. He won two batting titles. Hamilton had a few great years in a less favorable hitters era and won a batting title and an rbi title. Plus an MVP.
Jeff Burroughs will have to be next.... sorry but I think Lefty would be a travesty.
