Actually, this quiz could include a 3rd player from this same team....in my book, he should also be in the HOF.

One of my favorite Yankees when I was growing up in the late 1940's. Tommy was one of the best clutch hitters that ever played the game.

And, a great Right-Fielder, you got love this quote of his......"Catching a flyball is a pleasure, but knowing what to do with it after you catch
it is a business."

1297 hits, 181 HR and a .282 BA in 11 seasons. Not to take anything away from him, but not exactly a HOF caliber career IMHO.

What's your point?

Certainly Hector Lopez wasn't a "lock", but Moose Skowron, Clete Boyer, Tom Tresh, and Bobby Richardson?
