Never understood that phrase at all. Did the person who first came up with it, or anybody else who parrots it, ever think it through.
Does the word "Fame" translate into a definition I'm not aware of?
Carl Mays and Hippo Vaughn's numbers are still better then Waite Hoyt's and several others in the Hall. Have their numbers gotten worse?
