tbobthe HOF voting is a joke.
Tim says: "Boggs deserves it, bum and all, as for ryno, I am unsure. I will say this Rice gets no love and was the best hitter in the AL for 5 or 6 years running. To me thats a HOFer."
Tony O was THE most feared hitter of the 60's. In interviews with pitchers who are in the Hall and other top hurlers whp pitched during that time period, almost to a man they said Oliva was THE most feared and best hitter in the league.
Interviewed on ESPN radio yesterday, Goose Gossage said if there were one pitcher who SHOULD be in the Hall who is not, it is Bert Blyleven. He won 280 games for generally mediocre teams and Goose says he was THE dominant pitcher of his era. Strong words.
Jack Morris was a helluva big game pitcher but looking at the body of work, Blyleven deserves it more.
