john/z28jd I really wonder about his decision to retire if he cares at all about getting into the Hall of Fame. I couldn't put him in knowing the guys who didn't get in but have around the same amount of wins. He's not better than Jack Morris,and he doesn't have the world series resume that Morris does so I can't see any reason he should get more attention than him. The argument for him belonging should end there. When Morris was pitching,I considered him a future hall of famer, Mussina never crossed my mind as one.I think pitching for great teams in NY but having just a 7-8 record in postseason(including 3-7 in the last 5 years) doesnt help him at all because the win/loss record is a byproduct of the teams he played for.
Morris went a combined 59-28 for 3 teams(all different organizations) that he led to world series titles as the staff ace. Plus he had two other 20 win seasons. Sorry Moose,come back to me when you have 300 wins or a world series ring and we will talk,you're not Jack Morris,and hes topped out at 42% of the votes so far after nine years
