If you're going to give the argument that Newcombe should be in the HOF because he won a WS, shouldn't he have performed well in said World Series:
1949 23 BRO NL WS L NYY 0 2 .000 3.09
1955 29 BRO NL WS W NYY 0 1 .000 9.53
1956 30 BRO NL WS L NYY 0 1 .000 21.21
3 Seasons (3 Series) 0 4 .000 8.59 ERA
3 superb seasons and 2 good seasons do not make him a HOF'er.
