We discuss statistics ad nauseum as qualifying data for Hall of Fame selection, but what about Hall of Famers, who hold records that a casual observer would consider dubious and hardly worthy a Hall of Fame career.
The first nominee to the dubious HOF would be Cy Young, who holds the career record for pitching losses with 315. Interestingly 9 of the top 10 losers in major league history are members of the Hall of Fame. As a bonus trivia question, and without looking, who is the biggest loser not in the Hall of Fame? Let’s see some other Hall of Famers who set records they probably are not proud of. These dubious records of achievements need not be career records. Seasonal or single game records are fine. Even police records will do. Everyone has records they are not proud of, even Hall of Famers. ![]()

Reggie and Thome are the career leaders for strikeouts. Judge is on a blistering pace, but the top of the leaderboard is safe for a few more years.
No idea who the pitcher is. Jamie Moyer? |

My guess was Tommy John. Then I looked because I knew I was wrong.
NEVER would have guessed that. His career ERA was rather good for a .500 pitcher. |

I didn't realize Tommy John had that many wins.

Judge might be a season or two away from a HOF career also...

The difference is that Judge still gets on base. Reggie didn't know what a strike was.

In NYC the sacred cows of the judicial system are Judge Judy and Aaron Judge.
Let’s not judge Aaron harshly until he both breaks Reggie’s record and gets inducted into the HOF. (sound of gavel) Case closed.

And just to get this thread back on track,
Cap Anson committed 658 errors while playing first base. He has a substantial lead on the rest of the field.

Not really sure what that has to do with Judge being able to take a walk and providing a value Reggie couldn't. Judge's 7.2 WAR during his rookie year was a mark Reggie only eclipsed once, and it was during the one season Reggie managed to walk 100 times.
