Default We All Know That Ty Cobb Is In the HOF...

Posted By: jay behrens

Peter, isn't possible the sportswriters are smart enough realize that Mac is a one trick pony? Basically, the only hits the guy got were HRs. He wasn't even a one tool player. He couldn't run, he couldn't field. Basically, all he could do was hit HRs. I'm not a big fan of Harmon Killebrew either, and grew up in MN, but at least Killer was playing 2B when came up and even played a little 3B.

Being able to hit HRs and do nothing else should not be a good reason to put someone in the HOF. If you are going to put someone in for doing one thing good, then lets put Jose Morales adn Rusty Staub in as pinch hitters.

I love pinatas. You get to beat the crap of something and get rewarded with candy.
