The only 3rd baseman who had more errors per season was Pie Traynor but he hit .320 not .277

The Hall should be for the exceptional player, the best of the best.

This is also a perfect example of a team now having 3 hall of fame players on it who could not win. Santo's time they were 1064-1175


Hey I'm in Philly and I will tell you the Ashburn in no way shape or form is equal to Mays as a CF'er Sure he was the best player on a sh**y team but that doesn't make him a HOF'er
